Within a doped semiconductor crystal, which outcome limits electron mobility when impurity concentration increases?

💡 Explanation

Increased impurity atoms cause more frequent electron-phonon scattering because they disrupt the periodic potential; therefore electron mobility decreases rather than increases owing to a uniform or undisturbed potential or reduction in thermal energy.
