  1. XIV. What does the above Table refer to ? Describe the meaning of the terms entered in the boxes ? Answer: The angle between the Primary Flat of the Si Wafer and the Secondary Flat of the Si Wafer is ‘α’. Type tells if Si-Wafer is N-Type or P-Type. Orientation gives the cleavage plane Orientation in Miller Indices.[1/6+1/6+1/6=1/2Point]

XV. What do the different terms refer to in the above Integral Equation? Answer: N(E)=density of states per unit volume per unit energy, P(E) →Fermi-Dirac Statistics or the probability of occupancy at energy E by Fermions. dE → elemental energy, m*→effective mass of electron in the conduction band.X 0 →Fermi Level in Metal with respect to the bottom edge of the Conduction Band i.e.X 0 =E F - E C .[1/10+1/10+1/10+1/10+1/10=1/2 Points]

XVI.

In the adjacent equation and in Question XV, X 0 is the same parameter. What is this parameter. Answer: X 0 =E F - E C .[1/2 Point]

XVII.

What are the different parameters and what are their units ? Answer: E g is Band-Gap in eV and λ is the wavelength of the photon emitted accompanying the radiative transition from Conduction Band to the Valence Band.[1/4+1/4=1/2]

XVIII. Define the parameters and give the units ?
