In an intrinsic semiconductor, carrier's concentration is $5 \times 10^8 \text{ m}^{-3}$. On doping with impurity atoms, the hole concentration becomes $8 \times 10^{12} \text{ m}^{-3}$. (a) Identify (i) the type of dopant and (ii) the extrinsic semiconductor so formed. (b) Calculate the electron concentration in the extrinsic semiconductor.
