← ScienceWhich consequence occurs when specific impurities alter band structure?
A)Fermi level shifts in semiconductor✓
B)Increased lattice vibrations decrease mobility
C)Dielectric breakdown voltage becomes erratic
D)Material achieves near perfect insulation
💡 Explanation
The Fermi level shifts because doping affects the electron population near the conduction band/valence band edge due to the mechanism called impurity scattering, therefore moving its potential rather than alternatives like lattice changes that affect mobility under voltage.
