A pure semiconductor behaves slightly as a conductor at (A) room temperature (B) low temperature (C) high temperature (D) Both and

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

At room temperature, a few electrons in valence band acquire energy greater than the forbidden energy gap and move to conduction band. Hence, at room temperature a pure semiconductor behaves slightly as a conductor.
