14.9 In an intrinsic semiconductor the energy gap Eg is 1.2eV. Its hole mobility is much smaller than electron mobility and independent of temperature. What is the ratio between conductivity at 600K and that at 300K? Assume that the temperature dependence of intrinsic carrier concentration ni is given by

n i = n 0 e x p - E g 2 k B T where  n 0 is a constant.

14.9 Energy gap of the given intrinsic semiconductor,  E g  = 1.2 eV

The temperature dependence of the intrinsic carrier-concentration is written as:

n i = n 0 e x p - E g 2 k B T

Where,  k B = Boltzmann constant = 8.62 * 10 - 5
 eV/K

T = Temperature

n 0 = constant

Initial temperature, T 1
 = 300 K

The intrinsic carrier-concentration at this tempera
