Which outcome occurs when a silicon crystal is heavily doped?

A)Increased free carrier concentration
B)Reduced intrinsic carrier concentration
C)Higher energy band gap
D)Lower electrical mobility limit

💡 Explanation

Increased free carrier concentration results from increased dopant atoms, because doping deliberately introduces impurities, which contribute extra electrons or holes via the mechanism of charge carrier generation; therefore, conductivity increases, rather than a decrease, and this differs greatly from changing mobility constraints.
