A piece of silicon is p-type with a uniform donor doping concentration of NA = 9.0e+17 cm-3.
The hole mobility is μp = 105 cm2/Vs.

What are the conductivity and resistivity of this silicon?

A resistor with resistance R = 4 kΩ will be made using this silicon.
The resistor's cross-sectional dimension are W = 10 μm and t = 3 μm.
How long should the resistor be?
