At room temperature, an intrinsic semiconductor has_______________?

Correct answer: B. A few free electrons and holes

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

Explanation

An intrinsic semiconductor has equal numbers of thermally generated free electrons and holes; at room temperature their concentration is relatively small. Thus it has a few of both types of carriers, not one type alone.
