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?
-
- (1/3) eV
- (3/2) eV
- 3 eV
- 9 eV
Correct Option: A
Given Eg1 = 1eV, T1 = 200 K, T2 = 600 K, Eg2 =?
= | Eg2 | T1 |
Where Eg = Energy band gap
T = Temperature
Now, Eg2 = Eg1 × | T2 |
= 1eV × | = | 600 K | 3 |
Hence alternative (D) is the correct choice.
