← ScienceWithin 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.
