← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a doped semiconductor's crystal lattice contains excessive impurities?
A)Decreased carrier mean free path✓
B)Increased piezoelectric coefficient
C)Enhanced thermal energy generation
D)Suppressed quantum tunneling events
💡 Explanation
Decreased carrrier mean free path results because increased impurities introduces more scattering centers for electrons; this is known as Impurity Scattering. Therefore, the electrons collide more frequently, rather than traveling unimpeded; suppressed tunneling or similar only effects carrier transport at interfaces.
