  1. An intrinsic semiconductor with energy gap 1 eV has a carrier concentration N at temperature 200 K. Another intrinsic semiconductor has the same value of carrier concentration N at temperature 600 K. What is the energy gap value for the second semiconductor?
    1. (1/3) eV
    2. (3/2) eV
    3. 3 eV
    4. 9 eV
Correct Option: A

Given Eg1 = 1eV, T1 = 200 K, T2 = 600 K, Eg2 =?

Eg1
=
T2
Eg2T1

Where Eg = Energy band gap
T = Temperature
Now, Eg2 = Eg1 ×
T1
T2

= 1eV ×
200 K
=
1eV
600 K3

Hence alternative (D) is the correct choice.
