Science

Which mechanism allows conductivity when a semiconductor's lattice is doped?

A)Increased mobile carrier concentration
B)Expanded lattice vibrational modes
C)Reduced band gap widening
D)Enhanced phonon scattering probability

💡 Explanation

Doping introduces impurities within the lattice, causing increased mobile carrier concentration; this allows electron movement through the material and thus greater conductivity because electrons are available to move through the lattice, therefore facilitating current flow, rather than remaining bound within the crystal lattice.
