Which of the following equations correctly represents the temperature variation of energy gap between the conduction and valence bands for Si?
A
Eg(T)=0.70−2.23×10−4TeV
B
Eg(T)=0.70+2.23×10−4TeV
C
Eg(T)=1.10−3.60×10−4TeV
D
Eg(T)=1.10+3.60×10−4TeV
Answer
Eg(T)=1.10−3.60×10−4TeV
Explanation
Solution
: the energy gap Egdepends on the temperature
For silicon,
Eg(T)=1.10−3.60×10−4TeV
For germanium
Eg(T)=0.70−2.23×10−4TeV
