Which outcome occurs when excessive doping significantly widens the impurity band in a semiconductor?

💡 Explanation

Reduced carrier freeze-out results because the widened impurity band merges with the conduction or valence band, via band broadening. This reduces the activation energy for ionization; therefore, more carriers are excited even at low temperatures, rather than remaining bound to dopant atoms.
