STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Conductivity = (Electron Density*[Charge-e]*Mobility of Electron)+(Holes Density*[Charge-e]*Mobility of Holes)
σ = (ρ_e*[Charge-e]*μ_n)+(ρ_h*[Charge-e]*μ_p)
This formula uses 1 Constants, 5 Variables

Constants Used

[Charge-e] - Charge of electron Value Taken As 1.60217662E-19

Variables Used

Conductivity - (Measured in Siemens per Meter) - Conductivity is the measure of the ease at which an electric charge or heat can pass through a material. It is the reciprocal of resistivity.
Electron Density - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Electron Density refers to the measure of how many electrons are present in a given amount of the material.
Mobility of Electron - (Measured in Square Meter per Volt per Second) - Mobility of electron is defined as the magnitude of average drift velocity per unit electric field.
Holes Density - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Holes Density refers to the number of vacant energy states (known as "holes") that can exist in the valence band of a semiconductor material.
Mobility of Holes - (Measured in Square Meter per Volt per Second) - Mobility of holes is the ability of an hole to move through a metal or semiconductor, in the presence of applied electric field.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Electron Density: 30100000000 Kilogram per Cubic Centimeter --> 3.01E+16 Kilogram per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Mobility of Electron: 180 Square Meter per Volt per Second --> 180 Square Meter per Volt per Second No Conversion Required
Holes Density: 100000.345 Kilogram per Cubic Centimeter --> 100000345000 Kilogram per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Mobility of Holes: 150 Square Meter per Volt per Second --> 150 Square Meter per Volt per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

σ = (ρ_e*[Charge-e]*μ_n)+(ρ_h*[Charge-e]*μ_p) --> (3.01E+16*[Charge-e]*180)+(100000345000*[Charge-e]*150)
