A piece of silicon is p-type with a uniform donor doping concentration of NA = 1.0e+19 cm-3.
The hole mobility is μp = 59 cm2/Vs.

What are the conductivity and resistivity of this silicon?

A resistor with resistance R = 45 Ω will be made using this silicon.
The resistor's length is L = 200 μm and the thickness is t = 4 μm.
How wide should the resistor be?
