An intrinsic semiconductor, at the absolute zero temperature, behaves like which one of the following?(a) Insulator(b) Superconductor(c) n-type semiconductor(d) p-type semiconductorThis question was posed to me during an interview for a job.Query is from Intrinsic Semiconductor in section Semiconductor Electronics : Materials, Devices and Simple Circuits of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

The CORRECT answer is (a) INSULATOR

Explanation: At the absolute zero temperature, an INTRINSIC semiconductor BEHAVES like an insulator. It is an undoped semiconductor. An intrinsic semiconductor at absolute zero temperature has ELECTRONS only in the valence band.
