In an intrinsic semiconductor, the graph of current density J versus applied electric field E is a nonlinear curve that can be divided into three distinct regions, each governed by different carrier transport mechanisms. At low electric fields, the curve is a straight line passing through the origin. In this region, electrons and holes acquire a drift velocity proportional to the applied electric field, given by v_d = μE, where μ is the carrier mobility. Since current density J = nqv_d
