We start with the most basic thing we can do and, that is, compare the density of silicon (Si) to
the density of boron (B) and the density of silicon (Si) to the density of phosphorus (P), and
following in suit with our earlier work, compare the density of germanium (Ge) to gallium (Ga)
and the density of germanium (Ge) to the density of arsenic (As). Phosphorus has two
elemental forms: white phosphorus and red phosphorus. Red phosphorus can be obtained by
heating it to 250 degrees C, or by exposing it sunlight. It is the most stable allotrope of
phosphorus, but can return back to white phosphorus simply under frictional heating. We will
look at white phosphorus, as its density is well defined:
Si: 2.57 grams per cubic centimeter
P: 1.823 grams per cubic centimeter
B: 2.37 grams per cubic centimeter
Ge: 5.323 grams per cubic centimeter
Ga: 5.91 grams per cubic centimeter
As: 5.727 grams per cubic centimeter
Si/P = 1.41
Si/B = 1.08 ~ 1
Ge/Ga = 5.323/5.91 = 0.90 ~ 1
Ge/As = 5.323/5.727 = 0.929 ~ 1
Everything except Si/P approximately equals one. Si/P = 1.41 = the square root of 2 (sqrt(2)).
Phosphorus is sometimes replaced with arsenic (As) as a n-type dopant:
Si/As = 2.57/5.727 = 0.44875
Let us compare Si to Ge, the semiconductors:
Si/Ge = 2.57/5.323 = 0.4828
The result is their is nothing there interesting but Si/P because it is to two places after the
decimal, the square root of two. The rest are actually interesting in that they are almost one.
We can take the means, geometric, harmonic, and arithmetic:
sqrt(PB)/Si = [sqrt(1.823*2.37)]/2.57 = 0.80878741
sqrt(Ga*As)/Ge = [sqrt(5.91*5.727)]/5.323 = 1.09
It is at once clear there is not much here and we dont need to pursue the other means. But, this
is good; it gives more meaning to the AI matrices in that it shows they are probably not a
coincidence in that such calculations dont alway have structure. That is we found that structure
existed in the molar masses but not in these densities for the same materials. Furthermore we
have shown that this avenue reveals very little, so we can eliminate it from our studies. Here,
there is no golden ratio, just the square root of two and unity in everything else. The unity factor
is not surprising in that, many of these elements are close to one another in the periodic table
and therefore are approximately equivalent and that, is why we get unity in so many of the
ratios.

At this point I should like to say: the crystal wafers of silicon and germanium are doped as they
are grown meaning, each wafer has an almost uniform doping with itself and the others. Further
doping changes are made after the wafer is done with diffusion doping and implantation doping.
The interesting thing here is there only on the order of one dopant atom per 100 million atoms in
low or light doping, and there is only on the order of one dopant atom per 10 thousand atoms in
the case of heavy or high doping. Thus we can consider the dopant atoms as negligible and use
the the density of silicon alone in calculating the mass of our IN4007 rectifier diode whose
dimensions we have already calculated. Most diodes are encased in glass but, clearly, this
diode, is not. And, being a cylinder, we are ready to calculate its volume. The volume of a
cylinder is V=Bh where B=2(pi)r: We have:
V=2(pi)(5 mm)(1)^2 = 31.41 cubic millimeters
The density of white silicon is 2.57 grams per cubic centimeter.

It is my feeling, where the densities are concerned, we need to find a magic volume as
opposed to dealing with ratios and means. And further I dont believe that volume is to be found
in the IN4007 rectifier diode because it is human contrived, not Nature produced.
Why didnt I see it before? With all those ones and the square root of two, P, B, Si, Ga, As, Ge,
are a unit square with its diagonal drawn in with the following scenario:
