A bar of silicon is doped with boron concentration of $10^{16} \mathrm{cm}^{-3}$ and assumed to be fully ionized. It is exposed to light such that electron-hole pairs are generated throughout the volume of the bar at the rate of $10^{20} \mathrm{~cm}^{-2} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$. If the recombination lifetime is $100 \mu \mathrm{~s}$, intrinsic carrier concentration of silicon is $10^{10} \mathrm{~cm}^{-3}$ and assuming $100 \%$ ionization of boron, then the approximate product of steady-state electron and hole concentrations due to this light exposure is

A

$10^{20} \mathrm{~cm}^{-6}$

B

$2 \times 10^{32} \mathrm{~cm}^{-6}$

C

$10^{32} \mathrm{~cm}^{-6}$

D

$2 \times 10^{20} \mathrm{~cm}^{-6}$

The energy band diagram of a $p$-type semiconductor bar of length $L$ under equilibrium condition (i.e., the Fermi energy level $E_F$ is constant) is shown in the figure. The valance band $E_V$ is sloped since doping is non-uniform along the bar. The different between the energy levels of the valence band at the two edges of the bar is $\Delta$.
