Does valence band contain holes?
Holes reside in the valence band, a level below the conduction band. Doping with an electron acceptor, an atom which may accept an electron, creates a deficiency of electrons, the same as an excess of holes. Since holes are positive charge carriers, an electron acceptor dopant is also known as a P-type dopant.
How to Calculate Concentration of Holes in Valence Band?
Concentration of Holes in Valence Band calculator uses Holes Concentration in Valance Band = Effective Density of State in Valence Band*(1-Fermi Function) to calculate the Holes Concentration in Valance Band, The Concentration of Holes in Valence Band formula is defined as acceptor creates one hole in the valence band, and the hole concentration, p, in the valence band of a p-type semiconductor is approximately equal to the acceptor concentration, Na. Holes Concentration in Valance Band is denoted by p0 symbol.
How to calculate Concentration of Holes in Valence Band using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Concentration of Holes in Valence Band, enter Effective Density of State in Valence Band (Nv) & Fermi Function (fE) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Concentration of Holes in Valence Band calculation can be explained with given input values -> 2.3E+11 = 240000000000*(1-0.022).
