Which mechanism causes electrons in silicon to conduct current more effectively when the temperature of a semiconductor increases within a narrow range?

💡 Explanation

Higher semiconductor temperatures provide enough energy to overcome the band gap energy via increased electron-hole pair generation, therefore mobile carriers increase for conduction, rather than reduced scattering; other provided situations do not influence conductivity.
