n=N_c\cdot e^{\frac{-(E_c-E_F)}{kT}}
p=N_v\cdot e^{\frac{-(E_F-E_v)}{kT}}
  • E_c is the position of the conduction band minimum
  • $E_v$ is the position of the valence band maxmimum
  • k is Boltzmann's constant
  • N_x are the effective density of states
np=n_i^2
  • n_i = Intrinsic carrier concentration
n_i=\sqrt{N_cN_v}e^{\frac{-E_g}{2kt}}
  • E_g = Band Gap = E_c-E_v

Substitutional Doping

  • Donated electrons are delocalised
  • Ions are immobile
N_c \equiv 2 \left[ \frac{2\pi m_nkT}{h^2}\right]^{3/2}
N_v \equiv 2 \left[ \frac{2\pi m_pkT}{h^2}\right]^{3/2}
