Dear Mr. Mark Benjamin

This is the report for analyzing and recommends dope silicon for our company. In the report, I use the right-hand rule to determine the direction of the magnetic field, force acting in charge and the direction of moving charges.

After that I use several equations to calculate the carrier concentration, hall coefficient, of the sample. It is an n-type semi-conductor. The resistance of the sample is 1.756 kΩ. The carrier concentration is 1.543*1017 Carriers / cm3. The Hall Mobility is 1.543*1017 Carriers / cm3. The RH equals to -40.5 ohm.

The carrier concentration of my example is 1.543*1017 Carriers / cm3, compared to the estimate number, my result is slightly smaller. Compare to the experimental mobility to the mobility of carriers in doped silicon, my example’s value is smaller than the doped silicon. As a result, compare to the experimental mobility to the mobility of carriers in doped silicon, my example’s value is smaller than the doped silicon. I think we need to ask the factory to increase the sample’s carrier concentration.

Yours sincerely,

Jingxuan Xia

Introduction:

The purpose of my research is to analyze the doped silicon so that I can choose a perfect-doped silicon, which has high quality as well as reasonable prices.

Scientific Concepts and Theories

The Hall effect is the production of a voltage difference across an electrical conductor, transverse to an electric current in the conductor and a magnetic field perpendicular to the current.

In this experiment, I use the Hall effect as a method to measure the amount and type of carriers present in semiconductors.

From the figure above, we can conclude that when we add a magnetic field in a z direction we found that there is a transverse field Ex and the magnetic field Bz, which is in the y direction. After that, put a voltmeter across it, gives the reading

    According to my reading silicon, based semiconductors revolutionized computing. Because silicone semi conductors are able to move freely through the solid component it is more efficient than copper based conductors. Silicone based conductors form holes which creates and fills a space continually. Meaning electrons jump from one atom to another. Also silicone is changed through a process called doping through adding either phosphorus or aluminum the desired effect is achieved. When phosphorus is added to silicon it become n-type (Negative-semiconductor). When aluminum is added to silicone it becomes p-type (semiconductors). Both are essential for parts functions efficient electrical devices (microchips, which are use, in. computers (Nano technology).…

    The energy levels in semiconductors are divided into two bands, valance bands and conduction bands. At absolute zero, the semiconductors’ valance bands are fully filled with electrons and partially filled with electrons in the conduction bands. For the conductors, the valance bands are partially filled with electrons and completely filled with them in the conduction bands. A band gap is the value of the energy for which there is no molecular orbital (the gap size between the valance and conduction bands). Electrons are the available conduction carriers which can get excited and go cross the band gap if they have enough thermal energy. The semiconductors’ band gaps are usually thinner than the conducting ones.…

    Integrated Circuits (IC) are generally made up of pure silicon. This provides the base for the chip and is “chemically doped” to provide the N and P regions which make up the components of the integrated circuits. The purity level of the silicon must be so high that only one out of every ten billion atoms may be an impurity. Silicon dioxide…

    After I research silicon, I began to realize how semiconductors revolutionized a computer that is because silicone semi-conductors have the capability to transfer so easy into the firm component it is highly effective compared to the copper made conductors. Silicones made conductors develop holes that make and block a space constantly, so electrons hop from one atom to another. Silicon is transformed in a procedure called doping which simply cleanses the impurity and it contains phosphorus or aluminum then the process is successful. Once phosphorus is included into silicon, it converts into an (n) type known as a negative semiconductor. After aluminum is mixed into silicon, it develops into a (p) type referred to as semiconductors. Aluminum and phosphorus are both important for certain parts to operate successfully in electrical devices such as microchips which are useful inside of computers. (Ramsook, 2011)…
