What is thermistor diode?
A semiconductor device that is particularly sensitive to changes in temperature, permitting it to serve as an accurate measure of temperature.
How intrinsic semiconductor can be made into extrinsic semiconductor?
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.
Will the resistance increase when the temperature increases in a semiconductor?
NO. In a semiconductor the resistance decreases with increase of temperature. It is their natural behavior unlike conductors and insulators. If we decrease the temperature their resistance increases. At 0 degree kelvin all semiconductors will act like perfect insulators.
Does semiconductor lasers and laser diodes are similar?
Semiconductor lasers are made with laser diodes, with added circuitry to measure and regulate the diode current/output.
What happens to the number of free electrons and holes in an intrinsic semiconductor when the temperature decreases?
increases

What is meant by operating temperature of semiconductor?
The operating temperature of a semiconductor is the temperature at which a semiconductors exhibits the properties of a normal conductor.
What is the difference between metal and semiconductor?
A semiconductor's resistivity decreases with increasing temperature. A metal's resistivity increases with increasing temperature.
What is the temperature coefficient of extrinsic semiconductor?
positive
When the temperature of the room increased then the energy of semiconductor?
Increase

What is the effect of temperature on transistor?
conductivity of semiconductors increases with increase in temperature as breakdown of covalent bonds take place in the semiconductor due to increase in temp but more & more increase in the temp may result in the breakdown or damage of the semiconductor which results in the decrease in conductivity of semiconductor

Why does an extrinsic semiconductor behave like an intrinsic semiconductor at high temperature?
With the increase in temperature, the concentration of minority carriers starts increasing. Eventually, a temperature is reached called the critical temperature (85° C in case of germanium and 200° C in case of silicon) when the number of covalent bonds that are broken is very large and the number of holes is approximately equal to number of electrons. The extrinsic semiconductor now behaves essentially like an intrinsic semi-conductor.
Does semiconductor lasers and laser diodes are similar?
Semiconductor lasers are made with laser diodes, with added circuitry to measure and regulate the diode current/output.
