CHAPTER 3 The Semiconductor in Equilibrium Or The electron concentration is given by Or ▇ Comment The probability of a state being occupied in the conduction band can be quite small，but the thermal equilibrium value of electron concentration can be a reasonable value since the density of States large. Exercise Problem EX3.1 Calculate the thermal equilibrium electron concentration in silicon at T=300K for the case when the Fermi level is 0.25eV below the conduction-band energy,. The thermal-equilibrium concentration of holes in the valence band is found by integrating Equation （3.2）
