Describe (qualitatively) how standard enthalpy and entropy of vaporization of water will change with temperature?

The relative conductivity of a semiconductor device is determined by the amount of impurity "doped" into...

The relative conductivity of a semiconductor device is determined by the amount of impurity "doped" into the device during its manufacture. A silicon diode to be used for a specific purpose requires an average cut-on voltage of 0.60 V, and if this is not achieved, the amount of impurity must be adjusted. A sample of diodes was selected and the cut-on voltage was determined. The accompanying SAS output resulted from a request to test the appropriate hypotheses. [Note: SAS explicitly...

How does temperature affect the band structure and the I-V characteristics of semiconductor devices? How does changing the carrier lifetime affect semiconductor devices? For a GaAs PN junction, imagine that the device is to be used as a photo-diode. What width of intrinsic layer would you want to design the device with if the photons only absorb in the depletion/intrinsic regions? Assume: wavelength = 0.75um.
