Q161

Consider a silicon sample at T = 300 K, with a uniform donor density Nd = 5 × 1016 cm-3 illuminated uniformly such that the optical generation rate is Gopt = 1.5 × 1020 cm-3 s-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
