← ScienceWhich outcome arises when a crystal lattice contains doping impurities?
A)Increased free carrier concentration✓
B)Enhanced phonon scattering
C)Reduced thermal expansion
D)Increased dielectric breakdown voltage
💡 Explanation
Increased free carrier concentration occurs because doping introduces extra electrons or holes via the mechanism of band gap modification. Therefore, electrical conductivity increases rather than decreasing, because of a greater number of charge carriers become available.
