Which mechanism causes increased conductivity when doping germanium?

💡 Explanation

Introducing impurities adds electrons to the conduction band. Increased carrier concentration occurs, because the doping expands the electron population within the germanium's energy band, therefore enhancing electrical conductivity, rather than phonon interactions or lattice symmetry changes.
