### Subquestion 1
If all the dopants are ionized, the Fermi level gets shifted up towards the conduction band.
This result can be obtained when using results in Exercise 1 - Subquestion 2 and the following:
### Subquestion 2
$$ n_D = \approx N_D$$
$$ n_A = \approx N_A$$
$$ n_e = n_h = n_i $$
### Subquestion 2
Now,
$$ n_D^{\ast} = N_D (1-\frac{1}{e^({E_D-E_F})/k_BT+1})$$
$$ n_A_{\ast} = N_A (1-\frac{1}{e^({E_F-E_A})/k_BT+1})$$
$\ast$ indicated non-ionized concentrations.
