Let us now work out what happens when the semiconductor is at the border between these two regimes, and the dopant concentration $|N_D - N_A|$ is comparable to the intrinsic one $n_i$.
1. Write down the law of mass action and the charge balance condition for a doped semiconductor.
2. Solve this system of equations for $n_e$ and $n_h$ without additional assumptions.
2. Solve this system of equations for $n_e$ and $n_h$ with the additional assumption of full dopant ionization.
3. Verify that your solution reproduces intrinsic regime when $|N_D - N_A| ≪ n_i$ and the extrinsic regime when $|N_D - N_A| ≫ n_i$
