MCQ
The intrinsic semiconductor becomes an insulator at
- A$0^{\circ} C$
- B$-100^{\circ} C$
- C$300 K$
- ✓$0 K$
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
$0 K$
At $0 K$ temperature semiconductor behaves as an insulator, because at very low temperature electrons cannot jump from the valence band to conduction band.
