The free electron concentration profile $n(x)$ in a doped semiconductor at equilibrium is shown in the figure, where the points A, B, and C mark three different positions. Which of the following statements is/are true?
In a semiconductor, if the Fermi energy level lies in the conduction band, then the semiconductor is known as
For an intrinsic semiconductor at temperature $$T=0K$$, which of the following statement is true?
Consider a long rectangular bar of direct bandgap p-type semiconductor. The equilibrium hole density is 1017 cm$$-$$3 and the intrinsic carrier concentration is 1010 cm$$-$$3. Electron and hole diffusion lengthss are 2 $$\mu$$m and 1 $$\mu$$m, respectively. The left side of the bar (x = 0) is uniformly illuminated with a laser having photon energy greater than the bandgap of the semiconductor. Excess electron-hole pairs are generated ONLY at x = 0 because of the laser. The steady state electron density at x = 0 is 1014 cm$$-$$3 due to laser illumination. Under these conditions and ignoring electric field, the closest approximation (among the given options) of the steady state electron density at x = 2 $$\mu$$m, is _____________.
