Which phenomenon results when increased temperature widens the band gap of silicon?

💡 Explanation

Increased temperature raises electron energy, thus widening silicon's band gap, therefore increasing electron-hole recombination rate because more electrons attain sufficient energy to jump bands, rather than reduced recombination occurring at lower temperatures with smaller band gaps.
