Yeah, with scattering I mean the collision of the electrons, thus causing an increase in resistance...I have not really come across the term being referred to as 'vibrations of the lattice', but is that basically the same thing?

one final thing...so, does scattering of electrons have an effect on extrinsic semiconductors?

Thank you sooooooooo much...you can't believe how much that has helped me- I could literally find nothing about that on the internet

So, an increase in temp. means an increase in conductivity and a decrease resistance...but does the conductivity increase more/ quicker (whatever the correct term may be) in an extrinsic semiconductor than in an intrinsic one??? This only seems logical to me...

HELP! I've never posted something on this forum before, so I didn't know where to post this... Anyway, does anybody know the effect of temperature on extrinsic (both p-type and n-type) semiconductors, because I can find aboslutely nothing on the internet!!! Thanks

ignore this thread...still haven't figured out how to delete...
