Which mechanism causes increasing electrical resistance in a doped semiconductor crystal used at high temperatures?

💡 Explanation

Increased temperatures excite more phonons. Increased electron-phonon scattering reduces electron mobility, therefore increasing resistance; rather than seeing quantum tunneling. The increased phonon-electron interactions dominate because of the higher thermal energy.
