Question
A p-type germanium sample in a non- equilibrium state has a majority carrier concentration po = 1017 cm-3. The Po minority carrier lifetime is found to be 20 us. What is the generation rate of excess carriers? G = 5.63 X 1013 S-1 G = 1.13 X 1014 S-1 G = 2.88 X 1014 S-1 G = 1.44 X 1012 S-1 OG

Expert Solution
Step 1: Parameters need to be calculated

Given:

majority carrier concentration(po)=10 to the power of 17 c m to the power of negative 3 end exponent

minority carrier lifetime= 20 microseconds.

We have to calculate the generation rate of excess carrier.
