At absolute temperature, an intrinsic semiconductor has________________?

Correct answer: D. No holes or free electrons

  • A. A few free electrons
  • B. Many holes
  • C. Many free electrons
  • D. No holes or free electrons

Explanation

At absolute zero, thermal energy is insufficient to create electron-hole pairs in an ideal intrinsic semiconductor. Thus it has no free electrons or holes and behaves as an insulator.
