Intrinsic Carrier Concentration

Density n(E) is given by product of density states N(E) and a probability of occupying energy range F(E). III. Thus the electron density is given by: ... Intrinsic Carrier Concentration zThere are large number of allowed states in the conduction band. zHowever there will not be many electrons in the conduction band.
