← ScienceWhich outcome impairs semiconductor performance when exceeding temperature limits?
A)Intrinsic carrier concentration increases notably✓
B)Fermi level aligns with bands
C)Phonon scattering rates diminish notably
D)Electron-hole mobility sees enhancement
💡 Explanation
An increased temperature increases the available energy in the semiconductor. Increased energy causes greater thermal excitation which leads to exceeding band gap because electrons break free; therefore conductivity increases rather than remaining constrained.
