A piece of silicon is n-type with a uniform donor doping concentration of ND = 2.0e+16 cm-3.
The electron mobility is μn = 1.19e+3 cm2/Vs.

What are the conductivity and resistivity of this silicon?

A resistor with resistance R = 3.5 kΩ will be made using this silicon.
The resistor's cross-sectional dimension are W = 50 μm and t = 5 μm.
How long should the resistor be?
