Note:
1. Attempt all the questions.
2. (a) How are Cooper pairs formed? Discuss the BCS theory of
Superconductivity. (6)
(b) For a silicon semiconductor with a band gap of 1.12 eV, find the
position of Fermi level at 300 K. Given 𝑚𝑒∗ = 0.12 𝑚0 and
𝑚𝑛∗ = 0.28 𝑚0.
(3)
(c) Derive the expressions for electron and hole concentrations in an
intrinsic semiconductor. From them, deduce that the Fermi level is
at the middle of the conduction and valance band.
