Chapter 41, Problem 34P
To determine

To show:

(a) that when the number of electrons in the conduction band equals the number of holes in the valence band, it implies

NcexpEckT+1 = NvexpEvkT+1 

in which ∆Ec =  Ec - EF and ∆Ev = - (Ev - EF).

(b) that under the conditions when the Fermi level is in the gap between the two bands and its distance from each band is large relative to kT

Ef = Ec+ Ev2+kT ln (NvNc)2
