Do the Semiconductors conduct heat and electricity?


Open in App
Solution

  1. The semiconductor is a substance that has a conductivity between that of an Insulator and that of metals.
  2. Semiconductors conduct heat and electricity at high temperatures.
  3. A Semiconductor has enough free electrons at room temperature to allow it to conduct current.
  4. Once the electrons fall back into the valence band, they release their energy as heat.

Therefore, the Semiconductors conduct heat and electricity.
