  • As we know, valence band is completely filled, and conduction band is completely empty
  • When an electron from the valence band makes a transition to the conduction band by any external means, then a vacancy of electron is created in the valence band which is known as hole
  • Thus, holes can exist only in the energy states of valence bands, and hence it moves on valence band
