Consider the following statements for an n-type semiconductor:

(i) Donor level ionization decreases with temperature.

(ii) Donor level ionization increases with temperature.

(iii) Donor level ionization is independent of temperature.

(iv) Donor level ionization increases as Ed (donor energy level) moves towards the conduction band at a given temperature.

Options:
  1. only (ii)

  2. only (i)

  3. (ii) and (iv)

  4. only (iii)

  5. Answer:

    (ii) and (iv)

    Solution:

    With temperature ionization of impurity atoms increases . At a given temperature as , Ed moves towards conduction band more impurity atoms ionize.
