At a temperature of absolute zero, an intrinsic semiconductor is

A

an insultor

B

a p-type semiconductor

C

a n-type semiconductor

D

a conductor

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Because at absolute zero, theoretically there is no thermal energy, so electrons cannot jump into the conduction band and it will thus be an insulator.
