8. Show that the minimum conductivity of an extrinsic silicon sample occurs when it is slightly p-type. Calculate the electron and hole concentrations when the conductivity is minimum. Given that µn = 1350 cm2/volt-sec, µp = 450 cm2/volt-sec, and the intrinsic carrier concentration, ni = 1.5 X 1010 cm-3.
Answer: no = ni√µp∕µn and po = ni√µn∕µp
