- TL;DR Summary
- When a voltage is applied to a semiconductor at RT, the thermally excited electrons in the conduction band can move freely, similarly the hole that is generated in the valance band. Suppose we drop a voltage across the semiconductor. The electrons in the conduction band moves towards the positive electrode, the holes in the valance band move to the negative electrode. Is the current the sum of the electron current + hole current?
