The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to calculate the resistivity (ρ) of a silicon sample doped with phosphorus. We are given the following data: - Concentration of donor atoms (n) = \(10^{13} \, \text{atoms/cm}^3\) - Mobility of electrons (μ) = \(1200 \, \text{cm}^2/\text{V}\cdot\text{s}\) - Charge of an electron (e) = \(1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{C}\) The formula for resistivity (ρ) in terms of electron concentration (n), electron mobility (μ), and charge of the electron (e) is given by: \[ \rho = \frac{1}{n \cdot e \cdot \mu} \] ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the values**: - \(n = 10^{13} \, \text{atoms/cm}^3\) - \(e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{C}\) - \(\mu = 1200 \, \text{cm}^2/\text{V}\cdot\text{s}\) 2. **Substitute the values into the resistivity formula**: \[ \rho = \frac{1}{(10^{13}) \cdot (1.6 \times 10^{-19}) \cdot (1200)} \] 3. **Calculate the denominator**: - First, calculate \(n \cdot e\): \[ n \cdot e = (10^{13}) \cdot (1.6 \times 10^{-19}) = 1.6 \times 10^{-6} \] - Then, calculate \(n \cdot e \cdot \mu\): \[ n \cdot e \cdot \mu = (1.6 \times 10^{-6}) \cdot (1200) = 1.92 \times 10^{-3} \] 4. **Calculate resistivity**: \[ \rho = \frac{1}{1.92 \times 10^{-3}} \approx 520.83 \, \Omega \cdot \text{cm} \] 5. **Round the answer**: - The resistivity can be rounded to \(520.9 \, \Omega \cdot \text{cm}\). ### Final Answer: The resistivity of the silicon sample at \(20^\circ C\) is approximately \(520.9 \, \Omega \cdot \text{cm}\).
