Problem 3 A. A semiconductor has an electron mobility of 1000 cm²/Vs and an effective mass m *=0.5 mo (where mo is the rest mass of an electron). What is the average time between scattering events in the crystal? What is the average scattering rate? (Be careful with units here.) Note on units: 1V = kg.m²/A.s³ and 1C=A.s B. What is scattering? Give a short description of scattering in semiconductors.
