How does the conductivity of a semiconductor change with rise in temperature ? Explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The conductivity of a semiconductor increases with rise in temperature. When temperature increases, a large number of covalent bonds break. This produces a larger number of charge carries. So current increases
