Which outcome results in a semiconductor when interstitial impurities disrupt a crystal?

💡 Explanation

Interstitial impurities introduce energy states within the band gap; this causes a shift in the Fermi level because electrons will populate creating n-type or p-type semiconductors, therefore conduction properties change, rather than electron-hole recombination which relies on other factors.
