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.
