Electric Conductivity
Electrical Conductivity (σ)-
The semiconductor conducts electricity with the help of these two types of electricity or charge carriers (i.e electrons and holes).
These holes and electrons move in the opposite direction. The electrons always tend to move in opposite direction to the applied electric field.
Let the mobility of the hole in the crystal is μh and the mobility of electron in the same crystal is μe
The current density due to drift of holes is given by,
And The current density due to the drift of electrons is given by,
hence resultant current density would be
So, the general equation for conductivity is given as
where
For intrinsic semiconductors (no impurities)-
As the number of electrons will be equal to the number of holes.
