In an intrinsic semiconductor the energy gap Egis 1.2 eV. Its hole mobility is much smaller than electron mobility and independent of temperature. What is the ratio between conductivity at 600K and that at 300K? Assume that the temperature dependence of intrinsic carrier concentration niis given by
`"n"_"i" = "n"_0 exp(- "E"_"g"/(2"k"_"BT"))`
where n0 is a constant.

Intrinsic semiconductor
An intrinsic semiconductor has a resistivity of 0.50 Ω m at room temperature. Find the intrinsic carrier concentration if the mobilities of electrons and holes are 0.39 m2V-1S-1 and O.11 m2 v-1S-1 respectively:
What is meant by doping of an intrinsic semiconductor?
A pure semiconductor has equal electron and hole concentration of 1016 m-3. Doping by indium increases nh to 5 × 1022 m-3. Then, the value of ne in the doped semiconductor is ______.
Answer the following giving reasons:
Impurities are added to intrinsic semiconductors.
- Assertion (A): The resistance of an intrinsic semiconductor decreases with an increase in its temperature.
- Reason (R): The number of conduction electrons as well as hole increase in an intrinsic semiconductor with the rise in its temperature.
