Concentration in Conduction Band Formula

Electron Concentration in Conduction Band = Effective Density of State in Conduction Band*Fermi Function
n0 = Nc*fE

Is the electron concentration equal to the hole concentration in this intrinsic silicon?

In an intrinsic semiconductor, the number of electrons generated in the conduction band is equal to the number of holes generated in the valence band. Hence the electron-carrier concentration is equal to the hole-carrier concentration.
