What Is the Intrinsic Carrier Density at 440 K?

[rahulbhowmick]

Homework Statement

The effective masses of n- and p-carriers in a semiconductor are given by mn* = 0.067me and mp* = 0.48me respectively. The gap width of the semiconductor is 1.45 eV. Use this information to find the intrinsic carrier density at 440 K.

Homework Equations

I have no idea.

The Attempt at a Solution

I obviously had no attempt because I didn't know where to start.
