摘要
The intrinsic carrier density n(i) of crystalline silicon is an essential parameter for the simulation of electrical and thermal behavior of silicon devices. At 300 K, a value of ni = 9.65 x 10(9) cm(-3) has been determined by extensive experimental studies. However, the temperature dependence of this parameter remains to be verified. In this work, we propose a new expression n(i) 1: 541 x 10(15)T(1.712)exp(-E-g(0)/(2kT) thanks to an updated fit of experimental data. Polynomial fits of (m(dc)(*)/m(0))(3/2) and (m(dv)(*)/m(0))(3/2) are also proposed to model N-C and N-V. (C) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.
