Does doping always increase the conductivity of a semiconductor?

The conductivity of a semiconductor is given as (if extrinsic): \$\sigma = qnu_e + qpu_h\$ where \$\sigma\$ is the conductivity, \$u_e\$ and \$u_h\$ are the electron and hole mobilities. But does ...

Relation between drift velocity & conductivity of a doped semiconductor

Here is the problem, and I am stuck. When an electric field with strength \$1 \times 10^3 \text{V/cm}\$ is applied to a p-type uncompensated Si sample at room temperature, the electron drift ...
