Semiconductor Physics and Devices (I) - HW3

This document is a homework assignment for a semiconductor physics and devices course. It contains 6 questions related to semiconductor properties at different temperatures. The first question asks to calculate the number of energy states in silicon between the conduction band edge and 0.2eV above. The second asks about occupation probabilities of two energy levels given one is 0.3eV above the Fermi level at 300K. The third calculates the temperature for a 10^-8 probability of a state 0.6eV above the Fermi level being occupied. The last three questions are unspecified but relate to semiconductor physics and devices.
