In semiconductor physics, the free electrons are in conduction band while holes are in valence band. When external field (voltage) is applied across a piece of semiconductor, the free electrons are accelerated and drift forward. But what happen to the holes, how do they move about? As my understanding holes can move only with help from other valence band electrons? Please clear me out here.
