Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
What is the role of temperature in the behavior of semiconductors?
Steps
Concepts
Step 1: Understand that semiconductors are materials that can conduct electricity under certain conditions.
Step 2: Know that semiconductors have charge carriers, which are electrons and holes (the absence of an electron).
Step 3: Realize that temperature affects the energy of the atoms in the semiconductor.
Step 4: When the temperature increases, the atoms vibrate more, which can free more electrons from their bonds.
Step 5: More free electrons mean more charge carriers are available to conduct electricity.
Step 6: As the number of charge carriers increases, the conductivity of the semiconductor also increases.
