ASP 2.1: A Si crystal is doped with 5 x 1016 Arsenic atoms per cm3 initially. It is also
doped with 3.3 x 1016 atome/cm3 and then with 1018 atome/cm3 of Boron atoms.
Determine- 1) The type of resultant semiconductor 2) Concentration of majority carriers.
Solution: 1) Phosphorus is a pentavalent impurity. Hence it is of donor type. Each atom
of P will contribute an electron to semiconductor. Arsenic is also a pentavalent impurity.
Since already 5 x 1016 atoms/cm3 of Arsenic are present, total donor density is ND = 8.3 x
1016 atoms/cm3.
2) Additional doping by Boron atoms (acceptor type impurity) converts the Si from ntype to p-type since acceptor concentration is more that total donor concentration. Net
acceptor density is less tan number of Boron atoms added due to compensation. Hence
extrinsic Si is of p-type and density of holes (majority carriers isp = NA(B) – [ND(As) + ND(P)] = 1018 – [5 x 1016 + 3.3 x 1016]
= 9.17 x 1017 /cm3
ASP 2.2: Determine the Fermi probability f(E) for an electron at 300 0K having energy
level of 4kT above Ef.

ASP 2.3: Find the rate of change of conductivity with respect to temperature for intrinsic
Ge at 300 0K.
Solution: Intrinsic concentration is given by relationni = B T3/2e-Eg/2kT
and conductivity is given by relation-

σ = n i q (µ n + µ p ) = BT 3 / 2 e
− E g / 2 kT
(µ

+ µp )
For intrinsic semiconductor, n = p = ni.
Differentiating expression for σ w.r.t. T and noting that B(µn + µp) is independent of
temperature, we getEg

At 340 0K and kT = 0.02931 eV. Substituting these values in above expression, we get⎛n

⎠
Hence change in (Ef – Ei) from 300 0K to 340 0K is 0.528 – 0.4658 = 0.0622 eV
ASP 2.5: Addition of Arsenic atoms per Si atom to the extent of 10.4 x 107 results in a 10

intrinsic Si?
Solution: Conductivity of extrinsic Si is-

Since ratio of Si atoms to As atoms is 10.4 x 107, ni = 4.8 x 1014 x 10.4 x 107 = 4.99 x
1022 /cm3.
ASP 2.6: When intrinsic Si at 300 0K is doped with acceptor impurity, its conductivity
becomes 1.5 (Ω-m)-1. Determine- 1) Hole concentration 2) Electron concentration 3)
Ratio of hole to electron concentration.
Solution: Since acceptor impurity is added, the resulting semiconductor will be of p-type.
Conductivity of p-type semiconductor is given by-

Similarly, KVL expression for loop containing D2 is-V + (I1 + I2)R + Rf2I2 + Vγ2 = 0
Substituting the values of resistors in k and current in mA, we get-20 + (I1 + I2) x 1 + 0.02I1 + 0.6 = 0
-20 + (I1 + I2) x 1 + 0.01I1 + 0.2 = 0

Subtracting (2) from (1), and rearranging terms, we getI2 = I1 + 40
Substituting in (1) and solving for I1, we get I1 = -10.19 mA.
Since I1 is negative, diode D1 must be OFF. Hence practically, I1 = 0. Substituting I1 = 0
in (2), we get I2 = 19.6 mA. Hence we conclude that D1 is OFF and D2 is ON.
For R = 10k, and assuming that both D1 and D2 are ON as before, the KVL

Substituting the values of resistors in k and current in mA, we get-20 + (I1 + I2) x 10 + 0.02I1 + 0.6 = 0
-20 + (I1 + I2) x 10 + 0.01I2 + 0.2 = 0

Subtracting (4) from (3), and rearranging terms, we getI2 = I1 + 40
Substituting in (3) and solving for I1, we get I1 = -19 mA.
Since I1 is negative, diode D1 must be OFF. Hence practically, I1 = 0. Substituting I1 = 0
in (4), we get I2 = 1.978 mA. Hence we conclude that D1 is OFF and D2 is ON.

Additional Solved Problems
ASP 5.1: Calculate the values of IC and VCE for the circuit shown below. The transistor
used has β = 100. Assume VBE(active) = 0.7V.
VCC = +12V
RC
2k2
RB
100k
VBB
2V
Solution: Writing KVL expression for input loop gives us the value of base current. The
closed loop KVL expression for input loop is-
-VBB + IBRB + VBE(active) = 0
Rearranging terms, we getVBB − VBE ( active)
2 − 0.7
= 13µA
RB
100k
Assuming that the transistor is in active region, IC = βIB = 100 x 13 x10-6 = 1.3 mA.
To determine VCE, we write KVL expression for output loop. This givesIB =
=
-VCC + ICRC + VCE = 0
∴ VCE = VCC − I C R C = 12 − (1.3)(2.2) = 9.14V
Since VCB is positive (for npn transistor) and VCE is more than VCE(sat), transistor is indeed
in active region. This justifies our initial assumption. (VCB = VC – VB = 9.17 –0.7 =
8.44V).
ASP 5.2: For the circuit shown below, the transistor used has β = 100. Determine the
region of operation of transistor. Assume VBE(active) = 0.7V and VBE(sat) = 0.8V.

Solution: Initially we assume that transistor is in active region. KVL expression for input
loop is-
-VBB + IBRB + VBE(active) + IERE = 0
For the transistor in active region, IE = (1+β)IB. Substituting this in above KVL
expression, and rearranging terms, we getIB =
VBB − VBE ( active)
R B + (1 + β)R E
=
3 − 0.7
= 21µA
(100 + 101)10 3
For transistor assumed to be working in active region, IC = βIB = 100 x 21 x 10-6 =
2.1mA.
We can now determine VCE (hence VCB) to confirm our assumption that transistor is
indeed working in active region. KVL expression for output loop is-VCC + ICRC + VCE +IERE = 0
Hence VCE = VCC – ICRC –IERE = 24 - (2.1)(4.7) – (2.12)(1) = 12.01V
In order to determine VCB, we calculate VB and VC.
24
VB = VBE(active) + IERE = 0.7 + 2.12 = 2.82V
Similarly, VC = VCC-ICRC = 24 – (2.1)(4.7) = 17.2V
By definition, VCB = VC – VB = 17.2 – 2.82 = 14.38V
Since VCB is positive for npn transistor, the device is indeed in active region.

DC power input = Pdc = VCC x ICQ = 18 x 0.281 = 5.062W
Power dissipated by transistor (assuming ideal transformer and neglecting the power
dissipated by biasing network) is the difference between DC power input and AC power
output. HencePD = Pdc – Pac = 5.062 – 2.531 = 2.531W
