Which constraint on germanium transistors increases sharply when temperature rises?

💡 Explanation

Increased temperature rapidly boosts the minority carrier concentration because thermal energy allows electrons to jump the band gap, overwhelming the doping, therefore transistor function fails as excess carriers cause short circuits rather than maintaining semiconducting qualities.
