Why is the conductivity of n-type semiconductor greater than that of the p-type semiconductor even when both of these have the same level of doping?
Why is the conductivity of n-type semiconductor greater than that of the p-type semiconductor even when both of these have the same level of doping?
At the same electric field value, electron mobilities and thus conductivity are greater than holes. In n-type semiconductor materials, electrons are the majority charge carrier, while in p-type semiconductor materials, holes are the majority charge carrier. As a result, n-type materials have higher conductivity than p-type materials with the same level of doping.
