Q. For a silicon base transistor, $V_{C E}$ must be sufficiently larger than

Semiconductor Electronics: Materials Devices and Simple Circuits

Solution:

Note that drift velocity in semiconductors is affected by an increase in temperature in the same way as in metals, i.e., reduced due to an increase in the number of collisions with the lattice ions, which vibrate with greater amplitude at a higher temperature.
