In an n-type semiconductor, Nc is the effective density of states in the conduction band. Assuming that Nc = 1.1 x1019 cm 3 and an n-type dopant concentration of 24.9 x1016cm-3 is incorporated into this semiconductor, calculate the room temperature Fermi level. Provide your answer in the unit of eV, relative to the bottom of the conduction band Ec. (You may assume complete ionization of the n-type dopant).
