प्रश्न
An electric field is applied to a semiconductor. Let the number of charge carries be nand the average drift speed by v. If the temperature is increased,
पर्याय
both n and v will increase
n will increase but v will decrease
v will increase but n will decrease
both n and v will decrease.
उत्तर
n will increase but v will decrease
As we increase the temperature, additional electron‒hole pairs are created in a semiconductor. As a result, the number of charge carriers increases.
Now, drift velocity ( vd) is given by
`vd =(-eEr)/m`
As the temperature increases, the relaxation time of charge carriers (T) decreases. As a result, vd decreases.

The conductivity of an intrinsic semiconductor depends on temperature as σ = σ0e−ΔE/2kT, where σ0 is a constant. Find the temperature at which the conductivity of an intrinsic germanium semiconductor will be double of its value at T = 300 K. Assume that the gap for germanium is 0.650 eV and remains constant as the temperature is increased.

A semiconducting material has a band gap of 1 eV. Acceptor impurities are doped into it which create acceptor levels 1 meV above the valence band. Assume that the transition from one energy level to the other is almost forbidden if kT is less than 1/50 of the energy gap. Also if kT is more than twice the gap, the upper levels have maximum population. The temperature of the semiconductor is increased from 0 K. The concentration of the holes increases with temperature and after a certain temperature it becomes approximately constant. As the temperature is further increased, the hole concentration again starts increasing at a certain temperature. Find the order of the temperature range in which the hole concentration remains approximately constant.
