// Find Fermi level at room temperature // Basic Electronics // By Debashis De // First Edition, 2010 // Dorling Kindersley Pvt. Ltd. India // Example 1-9 in page 34 clear; clc; close; // Data given k=1; // Assumed constant m_e=2*k; // Effective mass of an electron in Kg m_h=k; // Effective mass of only heavy hole in Kg k_bT=0.026; // Expressed in eV at room temperature // Calculation E_f=(3/4)*0.026*log(m_e/m_h); printf("E_f = ((-E_g/2) - %0.3f) eV\n",E_f); printf("Thus Fermi level is below center of forbidden gap by 0.014 eV"); // Result // Fermi level in the intrinsic semiconductor is ((-E_g/2) - 0.014) eV
