The minority carrier concentration is largely a function of_____________?
Correct answer: C. temperature
- A. forward biasing voltage
- B. reverse biasing voltage
- C. temperature
- D. the amount of doping
Explanation
Minority-carrier concentration changes strongly with temperature because the intrinsic carrier concentration increases rapidly as temperature rises. Doping sets the majority-carrier level, but temperature is the dominant dependence in this context.
