To find the conductivity of intrinsic silicon, we can use the formula for conductivity (\( \sigma \)) in terms of electron and hole mobilities and their respective densities. The formula is given by: \[ \sigma = N_e \cdot q \cdot \mu_e + N_h \cdot q \cdot \mu_h \] Where: - \( \sigma \) = conductivity ...
