A piece of silicon is p-type with a uniform acceptor doping concentration of NA = 4.0e+16 cm-3.
The hole mobility is μp = 326 cm2/V·s.
What are the conductivity and resistivity of this silicon?

You would like to make rectangular resistor with value R = 33 kΩ in this silicon.
The resistor's cross-sectional dimensions are: W = 5 μm and t = 1.25 μm.
What length should the resistor have?
