Q: A Ge specimen is doped with Al. the concentration of acceptor atom is ~ 10^21 atom/m^3. Given that the intrinsic concentration of electron hole pairs is ~ 10^19/m^3, the concentration of electrons in the specimen is
(a) 1017/m3
(b) 102/m3
(c) 104/m3
(d) 102/m3
Sol: (a) ni2 = ne nh
(1019 )2 = ne × 1021
ne = 1017/m^3
