Holes behave similarly to electrons but with some key differences. While electrons move through the conduction band, holes move through the valence band. The movement of holes can be visualized as electrons jumping from one atom to another within the valence band, essentially filling the holes and creating new ones. This creates the illusion that the hole itself is moving. The mobility of holes is generally lower than that of electrons due to differences in their effective masses and the scattering mechanisms they encounter.
