Question

)You are asked to design a silicon p-n diode in such a way that the conductivity of the n-type and the p-type material is the same. On one side the

silicon(5.0 · 1028 atoms m) is doped with one atom in 10 of arsenic (valence5). A) Is this n-type or p-type and why? B) Calculate what the doping on the other side should be and suggest a suitable dopant atom.
