Electrons in silicon have a mobility of 1000 cm /V-sec. The electric field is applied to make the electrons reach a velocity of 3 x 10' cm/sec. Assume that the mobility is constant and independent of the electric field. What voltage is required to obtain this field in a 5 um thick region? How much time do the electrons need to cross the 5 um thick region?
