A piece of silicon is n-type with a uniform donor doping concentration of ND = 7.0e+18 cm-3.
The electron mobility is μn = 115 cm2/Vs.

What are the conductivity and resistivity of this silicon?

A resistor is made using this silicon. The resistor's dimensions are W = 15 μm, L = 500 μm, t = 5 μm.

What is the resistance of the resistor?
