Semiconductor resistance depends on temperature.

So, you can use a shunt resistor to measure semiconductor voltage with a given current and, then, obtain temperature.

How does the electrical conductivity of a semiconductor vary with temperature?

The electrical conductivity of a semiconductor typically increases with temperature. As the temperature rises, more charge carriers are generated in the semiconductor, leading to higher conductivity. This is due to the increased thermal energy that excites electrons into the conduction band.


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.


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

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.
