In the figure ln(ρ_i) is plotted as a function of 1/T, where ρ_i the intrinsic resistivity of silicon, T is is the temperature, and the plot is almost linear.

The slope of the line can be used to estimate

At T = 300 K, the hole mobility of a semiconductor $$\mu_p\;=500\;cm^2/V-s$$ and $$\frac{kT}q\;=\;26\;mV$$.The hole diffusion constant D_p in cm²/s is__________.

A thin P-type silicon sample is uniformly illuminated with light which generates excess carriers. The recombination rate is directly proportional to
