Which effect arises when dopants distort silicon's lattice structure?

💡 Explanation

An increased free carrier concentration occurs because increased doping introduces more electrons or holes into the crystal lattice due to the mechanism of *impurity ionization*. Therefore, conductivity increases because of higher carrier numbers, rather than decreased carrier mobility/number.
