Question
On increasing the temperature of a semi-conductor material:

Answer

  1. Density of charge-carriers increases, but their mobilities decreases.
Explanation:
On increasing the temperature of a semi-conductor material, the density of charge increases which apparently increases the hinderance and thus decreases their mobility.
