A doped semiconductor has impurity levels 30 meV30 \mathrm{~meV} below the conduction band.

(a) Is the material n-type or p-type?

(b) In a thermal collision, an amount kTk T of energy is given to the extra electron loosely bound to the impurity ion and this electron is just able to jump into the conduction band. Calculate the temperature TT.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
n-type; 348 K348 \mathrm{~K}
Option A (n-type; 348 K348 \mathrm{~K}) is correct because the impurity levels are below the conduction band, indicating an n-type semiconductor, and the temperature is calculated using kT=30meVkT = 30 \mathrm{meV}.
