This helped me understand what the fuck Fermi is doing here... No need to merge this... up to you @sthuer.

27 35 n_i = \sqrt{N_cN_v}e^{-(E_c-E_v)/2kT} = \sqrt{N_cN_v}e^{-E_g/2kT}

38 Doing some algebra we get some interesting forms, relating n and p to the Fermi level:
39 \begin{align}
40 n & = n_i e^{(E_f-E_fi)/kT} \\
41 p & = n_i e^{(E_fi-E_f)/kT}
  • 12 13 \begin{equation}
    13 n=N_ce^{-(E_c-E_f)/kT}
    14 n = \int_{E_c}^{\infty} g_c(E)f(E)\,dE = N_ce^{-(E_c-E_f)/kT}
    14 15 \end{equation}

    17 Same for the Hole concentration in valence band:
    16 18 \begin{equation}
    17 p=N_ve^{-(E_f-E_v)/kT}
    19 p=\int_{-\infty}^{E_v} g_v(E)[1-f(E)]\,dE = N_ve^{-(E_f-E_v)/kT}
    18 20 \end{equation}
    19 21
    22 where effective densities of states are: (outside the course but it is nice to write down)
    23 \begin{align}
    24 N_c &= 2\left(\frac{2\pi m_e^*kT}{h^2}\right)^{3/2} \prop T^{3/2}\\
    25 N_v &= 2\left(\frac{2\pi m_h^*kT}{h^2}\right)^{3/2} \prop T^{3/2}
