Which mechanism causes the temperature dependence of conductivity in extrinsic semiconductors?

💡 Explanation

The changing temperature of extrinsic semiconductors shifts the Fermi level relative to the dopant energy levels. This causes Fermi level temperature broadening near the band edges, because increased thermal excitation influences carrier distribution, therefore mobility changes rather than phonon scattering or injection effects.
