I do not get how the notes get 8•10^15. can you please show me how it got this? Thank you.

Transcribed Image Text:Example 18-7 (Semiconductor charge carrier analysis)
A silicon wafer (Group IVA) is doped with 2 x 10 phosphorus (Group VA) atoms/cm, 4 x101° boron
(Group IlIIA) atoms/cm° and 3 x 101 arsenic (Group VA) atoms/cm. Calculate the electron and hole
concentrations (carriers per cm.) Given: n = 1.5 x 10/m.

h = 1,5 x10/cc+3×1o
Think of acceptor and donor atoms canceling each other:
N.- Na 4 x 101 -3.2 x 10-0.8 x 10/cm
It looks like 0.8 x 10 acceptor atoms/cm are added to silicon.
