MCQ
The intrinsic semiconductor becomes an insulator at
  • A
    $0^\circ C$
  • B
    $ - 100^\circ C$
  • C
    $300\;K$
  • $0\;K$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$0\;K$
d
At $0\;K$ temperature semiconductor behaves as an insulator, because at very low temperature electrons cannot jump from the valence band to conduction band.
