Homework Statement


Calculate Efi with respect to the center of the bandgap in silicon for t= 200, 400, 600 kelvin.


Homework Equations


ni = Nc e^-((Ec- Ef)/(kt))

k = Boltzmann constant
t= temperature in kelvin
Ec = energy level of the conduction band
ef= fermi energy level
ni= carrier concentration
Nc = densitiy of states in conduction band


The Attempt at a Solution



Im not sure how to approach this problem, please help.

You should have been given all the other variables to be able to solve this. Do you know the concentration and the density of states?
