Question 14
What are semiconductors ? What is the effect of increasing temperature
On the conductivity of semiconductor?
[3]​

Answer 1

Answer:

SEMICONDUCTOR

Semiconductors are materials which have a conductivity between conductors (generally metals) and nonconductors or insulators (such as most ceramics). Semiconductors can be pure elements, such as silicon or germanium, or compounds such as gallium arsenide or cadmium selenide.

What is the effect of increasing temperature

What is the effect of increasing temperatureOn the conductivity of semiconductor?

☞ Increases

As the temperature increases, more electrons get the energy to jump from Conduction band to valence band, and thereby increases the conductivity of the semiconductor.
