Science

Within a doped semiconductor crystal, which outcome limits electron mobility when impurity concentration increases?

A)Enhanced electron-phonon scattering rate
B)Increased inter-atomic potential uniformity
C)Reduced effective electron wave function
D)Decreased ambient thermal energy effects

💡 Explanation

Increased impurity atoms cause more frequent electron-phonon scattering because they disrupt the periodic potential; therefore electron mobility decreases rather than increases owing to a uniform or undisturbed potential or reduction in thermal energy.
