The less abundant mobile charge carrier species: electron holes in an n-type semiconductor, or Electrons in a p-type semiconductor. A small equilibrium population does not imply an unimportant role in an operating transistor.
Introducing excess mobile charge carriers into a semiconductor, for example through a contact under biasing. Their subsequent motion and electron-hole recombination can change the electrical conductivity and an output electric current.
