Semiconductor Electronics Materials Devices And Simple Circuits Ques 45

45. The intrinsic semiconductor becomes an insulator at

[2001]

(a) $0^{\circ} C$

(b) $0 $ $K$

(c) $300$ $ K$

(d) $-100^{\circ} C$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 45.(b)

Solution:

  1. (b) At $0 $ $K$, motion of free electrons stop. Hence conductivity becomes zero. Therefore, at $0 $ $K$ intrinsic semiconductor becomes insulator.
