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.
Semiconductors: When temperature increases, more electrons jump to conduction band from valance bond. Hence resistance decreases. Metals: Already plenty of electrons are there in conduction band. When temperature increases, the electrons in conduction band of metal vibrate and collide each other during their journey. Hence the the resistance of metal increases with increase of temperature.

An increase in current will only affect resistance if it causes the temperature of the conductor to change. For pure metallic conductors, and increase in temperature will cause an increase in resistance.
The base direct current (DC) in semiconductor devices generally increases with temperature. As temperature rises, the thermal energy allows more charge carriers to become available, which enhances conductivity and increases current flow. However, excessive temperature can lead to increased resistance and potential device failure, so there is a limit to this trend. In contrast, for some materials, such as metals, resistance typically increases with temperature, which can decrease the current if voltage remains constant.
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.
The resistance of a thermistor decreases when heated because it is a type of temperature-sensitive resistor made from semiconductor materials. As the temperature increases, more charge carriers (electrons or holes) are generated, enhancing the material's conductivity. This increase in charge carriers allows for easier flow of electric current, leading to a lower resistance. Thus, thermistors exhibit a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) behavior, where resistance decreases with rising temperature.
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
Resistance decreases as more carriers are thermally generated with increased temperatures in a semiconductor. In metals there are plenty of carriers so the increase is negligible compared to the increased scattering off the lattice and impurities as temperature increases and therefore resistance increases with temperature.

The resistance of pure metallic conductors increases with temperature, because the resistivity of these conductors increase with temperature.
Resistance increases as temperature increases. If Voltage is held constant then according to Ohm's Law Voltage = Current x Resistance then current would decrease as resistance increases.
with increase temperature in metal, thermal energy causes atoms in metal to vibrate, in this excited state atoms interact with and scatter electrons, thus decreasing the mean free path, and hence the mobility of electrons to decreases and resistivity increase(Resistivity = 1 / Conductivity )so conductivity of metal decrease as increasing in temperature
The four factors that determine the resistance of a material are resistivity (intrinsic property of the material), length (longer length increases resistance), cross-sectional area (smaller area increases resistance), and temperature (increases in temperature usually increase resistance). Examples could be copper with low resistivity, a longer wire having higher resistance, a thinner wire having higher resistance, and a material like a semiconductor having resistance affected by temperature changes.
With the increase in temperature if the resistance increases or the current in the circuit decreases then it is said to be have positive temperature coefficient .But in semi-conductors with the increase in temperature the electrons present in the valance band are excited and they would enter the conduction band for conduction . As the no. of charge carriers always increase in a semi-conductor , implies that the current always increases with the increase in temperature so the semi-conductor can never have positive temperature coefficient
When the temperature of the room increases, the energy of a semiconductor also increases because more electrons are excited to higher energy levels. This can increase the conductivity of the semiconductor due to increased electron mobility. However, at very high temperatures, the semiconductor may experience thermal runaway and exhibit decreased performance due to excessive generation of electron-hole pairs.
The mechanism of metallic resistance : as temperature increases the thermal vibrations in the lattice increase causing more electron scattering therefore more collisions will take place, slowing down the electron flow. This increases the rate of transfer of electrical energy by heating and increases the electrical resistance. The semiconductor's electrons also vibrate more at higher temperature so this contributes to resistance increase in the same way as for a metal. So what else could make the semiconductor conduct better? The answer is: more charge carriers. Whereas the number of free electrons in a metal is constant the effect of heating a semiconductor frees additional electrons (and holes). For silicon in this temperature range the effect of additional charge carriers outweighs the effect of additional vibrations, so the overall resistance will decrease with temperature.
The element that increases its electrical conductivity as its temperature increases is typically a metal, such as copper or silver. This behavior is due to more free electrons being available to carry electric current at higher temperatures, leading to an increase in conductivity.
Viscosity is the resistance of a liquid to flow. When temperature decreases Viscosity generally increases. Viscosity generally decreases when the temperature increases.
