Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is a characteristic of intrinsic semiconductors?
Correct Answer: Conductivity depends on temperature
  • Step 1: Understand what intrinsic semiconductors are. They are pure materials without any added impurities.
  • Step 2: Know that intrinsic semiconductors can conduct electricity, but their ability to do so changes with temperature.
  • Step 3: Realize that at higher temperatures, intrinsic semiconductors can conduct better because more electrons gain enough energy to move.
  • Step 4: Remember that since intrinsic semiconductors have no impurities, their conductivity relies solely on temperature changes.
