A piece of silicon is n-type with a uniform donor doping concentration of ND = 1.0e+16 cm-3.
The electron mobility is μn = 1.2e+3 cm2/V·s.
What are the conductivity and resistivity of this silicon?

If an electric field with strength E = 3.0e+4 V/cm is applied to the material, what is the magnitude of the resulting drift current density?
