Find the current that flows in a silicon bar of 10-μm length having a 5-μm × 4-μm cross-section and having free-electron and hol

e densities of 104/cm3 and 1016/cm3, respectively, when a 1V is applied end-to-end. Use μn = 1200 cm2/V·s and μp = 500 cm2/V·s.

The current flowing in silicon bar is 2.02 \times 10^-12 A.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Length of silicon bar, l = 10 μm = 0.001 cm

Free electron density, Ne = 104 cm^3

Hole density, Nh = 1016 cm^3

μn = 1200 cm^2 / V s

μр = 500 cm^2 / V s

The total current flowing in the bar is the sum of the drift current due to the hole and the electrons.

J = Je + Jh

J = n qE μn + p qE μp

where, n and p are electron and hole densities.

J = Eq (n μn + p μp)

we know that E = V / l

So, J = (V / l) q (n μn + p μp)

     J = (1.6 \times 10^-19) / 0.001 (104 \times 1200 + 1016 \times 500)

     J = 1012480 \times 10^-16 A / m^2.

or

J = 1.01 \times 10^-9 A / m^2

Current, I = JA

A is the area of bar, A = 20 μm = 0.002 cm

I = 1.01 \times 10^-9 \times 0.002 = 2.02 \times 10^-12

So, the current flowing in silicon bar is 2.02 \times 10^-12 A.

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

5595 m

Explanation:

The wave travels down   (the depth) and the back up (the depth again)

  this distance is     2 d

2 d =  1492 m/s * 7.5 s

2d = 11190 m

d = 5595 m
