A sample of germanium is made p-type by the addition of indium at a rate of one
atom per 8 x 10° germanium atoms. The donor density is assumed zero and n = 5 x
1019 atoms per cubic meter at 300 K.
(i) Given there are 8 x 1028 germanium atoms per cubic meter, then compute the
acceptor atom density, Na.
(ii) At 300 K doped germanium has an electron charge (9) of 1.6 x 1019 C and
mobilities for the electron (µe) of 0.38 m²/Vs and for the hole (µn) 0.18 m²/Vs.
Stating any assumptions, calculate the conductivity of a sample of p-type
germanium with your acceptor density computed from (i) above.
