Which consequence results when increased temperature broadens electron orbitals' energy levels within a semiconductor's conduction band?

💡 Explanation

Increased thermal broadening causes the Fermi level to shift closer to the band edges because thermal energy promotes more electrons to the conduction band; therefore carrier concentration grows, rather than recombination dominating at lower temperatures.
