Which conduction outcome occurs when a semiconductor's crystal lattice contains interstitial impurity atoms?

💡 Explanation

Increased free carrier concentration of either electrons or holes will develop, because dopant atoms introduce extra energy levels close to the conduction or valence bands; therefore conductivity rises, rather than reducing bandgap width.
