Which constraint on crystalline silicon increases when band gap reduces?

A)Maximum reverse bias voltage
B)Operational temperature range
C)Minimum switching frequency
D)Critical mechanical stress

💡 Explanation

Temperature directly depends on band gap, because a smaller band gap means that less energy is needed to excite electrons into the conduction band via Thermal excitation, therefore operational range reduces, rather than electrical behavior changing or stress increasing.
