at higher values of temperature the intrinsic carrier concentration become comparable to or greater than doping concentration in extrinsic semiconductors. thus majority and minority carrier concentration increases with increase in temperature and it behaves like intrinsic semiconductor.

Semiconductor in pure form (i.e. without doping) is called intrinsic or i-type semiconductor. The no of charge carrier in this case is determined by the materials itself only and not by the impurities. In an intrinsic semiconductor number of excited free electron is equal to the number of holes.

due to the poor conduction at room temperature,the intrinsic semiconductor as such,is not useful in the electronic devices.hence,the current conduction capability of the intrinsic semi conductor should be increased. this can be achieved by adding a small amount of impurity to the intrinsic semi conductor

The mobility of electrons is always greater than holes. Only the number of electrons and holes would be same in an intrinsic semiconductor.

intrinsic semiconductor is an un-doped semiconductor, in which there is no impurities added where as extrinsic semiconductor is a doped semiconductor, which has impurities in it. Doping is a process, involving adding dopant atoms to the intrinsic semiconductor, there by gives different electrical characteristics
