← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when arsenic is added to silicon?
A)Increased electron carrier concentration results✓
B)Reduced phonon mean free path yields
C)Higher hole carrier mobility develops
D)Enhanced intrinsic carrier concentration evolves
💡 Explanation
Adding arsenic introduces a donor impurity level near the conduction band, therefore increasing free electrons. Because arsenic has an extra valence electron, this allows for n-type doping, rather than increasing hole concentration or affecting phonon behavior.
