Which electronic behavior occurs in a doped semiconductor crystal?

💡 Explanation

Doping introduces impurities that affect the band structure via increased free carrier concentration because the shallow donor/acceptor states facilitate easier excitation of electrons/holes across the band and enhanced conductivity therefore occurs rather than changes in phonons or degradation.
