← ScienceWhich consequence results when impurity atoms distort band structure?
A)Increased free carrier concentration✓
B)Increased dielectric breakdown strength
C)Reduced thermal conductivity overall
D)Increased intrinsic carrier mobility
💡 Explanation
Increased free carrier concentration occurs because **electron doping**, resulting from impurities, shifts the Fermi level and alters band occupancy. Therefore, more charge carriers are available, rather than increased breakdown strength under strong electric fields.
