Many p-type organic semiconductors are experimentally found to follow a universal power-law trend between conductivity and charge carrier concentration at practically relevant high doping levels. This behavior cannot consistently be explained by conventional charge transport models. Here, we develop a physically transparent model based on the combination of a tight binding model and a variable range hopping model to show that the observed power-law trend can be explained by consideration of an energy dependent localization length. The underlying cause is an energetic lifting of the charge carriers to partly delocalized states due to the rising Fermi energy level at high charge carrier concentration. At low charge carrier concentrations, the well-known Mott-Martens model is recovered.
