About Carrier Mobility

Carrier mobility characterizes how quickly charge carriers move through a material under an applied electric field. Higher mobility means better electrical conductivity for a given carrier concentration.

Key Formulas:

  • μ = σ/(ne) (from conductivity)
  • μ = vd/E (from drift velocity)
  • μ = eτ/m* (from scattering time)
  • D = μkT/e (Einstein relation)

Typical Values (300K):

  • Si electrons: 1400 cm²/V·s
  • Si holes: 450 cm²/V·s
  • GaAs electrons: 8500 cm²/V·s
  • Graphene: 200,000 cm²/V·s
