MCQ
At absolute zero, $Si$ acts as
- Anon metal
- Bmetal
- ✓semiconductor
- Dnone of these
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
semiconductor
c
Pure silicon, at absolute zero, will contain all the electrons in bounded state. The conduction band will be empty. So there will be no free electrons (in conduction band) and holes (in valence band) due to thermal agitation. Pure silicon will act as insulator.
