// Position of Fermi level at room temperature // Basic Electronics // By Debashis De // First Edition, 2010 // Dorling Kindersley Pvt. Ltd. India // Example 1-22 in page 50 clear; clc; close; // Data given C_Ge=4.41*10^22; // Concentration of Ge atom /cm^3 N_D=4.41*10^15; // Number of free donor atoms N_C=8.87*10^18; // Number of conduction electrons assuming full ionization K_BT=0.026; // Measured in eV at room temperature // Calculation E_F=K_BT*log(N_D/N_C); printf("Position of fermi level is %0.4f",E_F); // Result // Position of Fermi level from edge of conduction band is -0.1977 // Thus E_F is below E_C
