**The key algorithm of describing the state of a semiconductor:**
1. Write down the density of states, assuming a certain position of the Fermi level
2. Calculate the total amount of electrons and holes, equate the difference to the total amount of electrons $-$ holes available.
3. Use physics intuition to simplify the equations (this is important!)
4. Find $E_F$ and concentrations of electrons and holes
1. Compute the density of states of all types of particles.
2. Calculate the total amount of electrons and holes, assuming a certain value of $E_F$
3. Write down the charge balance condition: the difference between electrons and holes should equal to the total charge of the semiconductor.
4. Apply approximations to simplify the equations (this is important!).
5. Find $E_F$ and concentrations of electrons and holes
Applying the algorithm:
