Engineering How Does Electron Mobility Relate to Conductivity in N-Type Silicon?

AI Thread Summary
Electron mobility is directly related to the conductivity of n-type silicon, as higher mobility leads to increased conductivity. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the formulas associated with electron mobility and conductivity. A recommended resource is the Wikipedia page on electron mobility, particularly the section on its relation to conductivity. Users found clarity in the formulas after reviewing the suggested material. Understanding this relationship is crucial for applications in semiconductor physics.

Try reading this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_mobility
especially the section titled "Relation to conductivity".

Thank you, I got the answer from that formula after read "Relation to conductivity"
