Question 4 in photo please, i also attached Q1 with the Si diode with p and n doping levels

Q1. Calculate the built in potential Vo that will be formed across the p-n junction (no bias)
between p-type material with a doping level NA = 1 x 1015 cm3 and n-type material with a
doping level of ND = 1x 1016 cm3. Also calculate the height of the potential energy barrier
that will prevent majority carriers from crossing over this barrier. Do the above calculations
for three semiconductors:
(i) Silicon
(ii) Germanium
(ii) Gallium Arsenic
Answer:
Semiconductor
Vo (V)
Ер (eV)
Silicon
0.6375
Germanium
0.2633
GaAs
1.101

Follow-up Question

For Q4 (i) and similar thing to (ii) and (iii)

When calculating ni1/ni2 = (300/293.15)^1.5 I got ni2 = 1.035ni1 and don't know why you guy got 0.9659ni1 is there anything that I miss?
