A piece of silicon is p-type with a uniform acceptor doping concentration of NA = 6.0e+16 cm-3.
The hole mobility is μp = 282 cm2/V·s.
What are the conductivity and resistivity of this silicon?

You would like to make rectangular resistor with value R = 1.8 kΩ in this silicon.
The resistor's length is L = 0.4 mm and the thickness is t = 10 μm.
What width should the resistor have?
