Electronic Devices Question 212

Question: A silicon speciman is made into a P-type semi-conductor by dopping, on an average, one Indium atom per 5×107 silicon atoms. If the number density of atoms in the silicon specimen is 5×1028atoms/m3 then the number of acceptor atoms in silicon per cubic centimetre will be

[MP PMT 1993, 2003]

Options:

A) 2.5×1030atoms/cm3

B) 1.0×1013atoms/cm3

C) 1.0×1015atoms/cm3

D) 2.5×1036atoms/cm3

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Number density of atoms in silicon specimen = 5x1028atom/m3 = 5x1022atom/cm3 Since one atom of indium is doped in 5 x 107 Si atom.

So number of indium atoms doped per cm3 of silicon.

n=5×10225×107=1×1015atom/cm3.
