AN IBM 7090 PROGRAM FOR COMPUTING THE FERMI-LEVEL IN NON-METALS

J. P. Miller · 1962

An IBM 7090 computer program for calculating the Fermi-level in non- metals is described. The program can compute the Fermi-level as a function of temperature and donor and acceptor concentration for any crystal for which the band structure is known provided the doping atoms are different from the base material by only one outer shell electron. The Fermi-level was computed for germanium and silicon with gallium and antimony doping, and it is shown that the Fermi-level depends primarily on the excess carriers in the crystal. (auth)
