Which mechanism causes increased conductivity when n-type semiconductors heat?

💡 Explanation

Increased temperatures excite electrons into the impurity band leading to easier conduction via increased charge. It's impurity band ionization that matters, because thermal generation of minority carriers is less significant at these doping levels, rather than just lattice vibration.
