For a heavily doped n-type semiconductor, Fermi level lies:

  1. A A little above the valence band
  2. B A little below the conduction band
  3. C At the center or middle of valence band and conduction band
  4. D A little above the conduction band
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) A little above the conduction band

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Normal n-type: When you add a moderate amount of donor impurities, the Fermi level ( \(E_F\) ) moves up from the center of the bandgap to just below the conduction band. Heavily doped: When the doping concentration is extremely high, the donor atoms are so close together that…
