Which outcome occurs when a crystalline semiconductor contains impurities?

💡 Explanation

Intermediate energy levels form within the band gap because dopant atoms introduce new electronic states; therefore the semiconductor’s conductivity changes, rather than phonon behavior due to altered dielectric properties.
