A piece of silicon is n-type with a uniform donor doping concentration of NN = 5.0e+16 cm-3.
The electron mobility is μn = 863 cm2/V·s.
What are the conductivity and resistivity of this silicon?

You would like to make rectangular resistor with value R = 2.7 kΩ in this silicon.
The resistor's cross-sectional dimensions are: W = 6 μm and t = 0.857 μm.
What length should the resistor have?
