The concentration of hole-electron pairs...

The concentration of hole-electron pairs in pure silicon at T=300K is `7xx10^(15)`per cubic metre, Antimony is doped into silicon in a proportion of 1 atom in `10^7`atons. Assuming that half of the impurity atons contribute electrons in the conduction band, calculate the foctor by which the number of silicon atoms per cubic metre is `5xx10^(28)`

To solve the problem, we need to calculate the factor by which the number of charge carriers increases in silicon after doping it with antimony. Let's break down the steps: ### Step 1: Identify Given Values - Concentration of hole-electron pairs in pure silicon (Ni) = \(7 \times 10^{15} \, \text{m}^{-3}\) - Proportion of antimony doped = 1 atom in \(10^7\) atoms - Total number of silicon atoms per cubic meter (Ns) = \(5 \times 10^{28} \, \text{m}^{-3}\) - Half of the impurity atoms contribute electrons in the conduction band. ...
