Question:medium

When a semiconductor is doped with pentavalent impurities, the Fermi level (at moderate temperatures) lies :

Show Hint

Pentavalent = n-type = extra electrons = Fermi level pushed UP towards the Conduction Band (near the donor level). Trivalent = p-type = extra holes = Fermi level pulled DOWN towards the Valence Band (near the acceptor level).

  • Exactly between conduction and valence band
  • Between donor level and bottom of conduction band
  • Between acceptor level and top of valence band
  • Between donor level and top of valence band
