Consider a silicon sample at T=300 K with a uniform donor density Nd=5×1016cm-3, illuminated uniformly such that the optical generation rate is Gopt=1.5×1020cm-3s-1 throughout the sample. The incident radiation is turned off at t=0. Assume low-level injection to be valid and ignore surface effects. The carrier lifetimes are τp0=0.1 μs and τn0=0.5 μs.
The hole concentration at t=0 and the hole concentration at t=0.3 μs, respectively, are
A
1.5×1013cm-3 and 7.47×1011cm-3
B
1.5×1013cm-3 and 8.23×1011cm-3
C
7.5×1013cm-3 and 3.73×1011cm-3
D
7.5×1013cm-3 and 4.12×1011cm-3

Correct : a
