Which of the following equations correctly represents the temperature variation of energy gap between the conduction and valence bands for Si?

A

Eg(T)=0.702.23×104TeVE_{g}(T) = 0.70 - 2.23 \times 10^{- 4}TeV

B

Eg(T)=0.70+2.23×104TeVE_{g}(T) = 0.70 + 2.23 \times 10^{- 4}TeV

C

Eg(T)=1.103.60×104TeVE_{g}(T) = 1.10 - 3.60 \times 10^{- 4}TeV

D

Eg(T)=1.10+3.60×104TeVE_{g}(T) = 1.10 + 3.60 \times 10^{- 4}TeV

Answer

Eg(T)=1.103.60×104TeVE_{g}(T) = 1.10 - 3.60 \times 10^{- 4}TeV

Explanation

Solution

: the energy gap EgE_{g}depends on the temperature

For silicon,

Eg(T)=1.103.60×104TeVE_{g}(T) = 1.10 - 3.60 \times 10^{- 4}TeV

For germanium

Eg(T)=0.702.23×104TeVE_{g}(T) = 0.70 - 2.23 \times 10^{- 4}TeV
