Answer:
When an electric field is applied across a semiconductor, its free electrons drift in the conduction band in the opposite direction of the field. At the same time, the bound electrons in the valence band drift from one vacancy to the next in the opposite direction of the field. This motion of the bound electrons is equivalent to the motion of the holes in the direction of the applied field. The motion of the holes constitutes a hole current.
