  9. Mobility represents the ease of electrons and holes to flow through the crystal under an externally applied electric field. Mobility 1 Slope gives the mobility only at low electric field Electron drift velocity saturates at high electric fields for Si. is valid only at low field • At high electric field, the velocity of electrons CANNOT increase linearly with voltage due to increased scattering from the lattice vibrations (electron loses the entire extra energy from electric field immediately) • At a particular electric field called the critical electric field, the mobility becomes almost zero (actually not defined anymore), and the velocity of the electrons become almost constant w.r.t. the electric field
