Question

What is the resistance of an intrinsic semiconductor at 0 K?

Open in App
Solution

At 0 K, the valence band is full and the conduction band is empty. As no electron is available for conduction in an intrinsic semiconductor, the intrinsic semiconductor at 0 K acts as an insulator and hence offers infinite resistance.
