Which outcome occurs when a doped semiconductor's crystal lattice reaches cryogenic temperatures?

💡 Explanation

As a semiconductor crystal lattice approaches absolute zero, the thermal energy decreases; dopant ionization energy drops sharply leading to the merging of the impurity band with the conduction band, therefore increasing conductivity rather than reducing mobility because lattice displacement decreases at those levels.
