Which risk increases in a doped semiconductor when thermal energy exceeds the band gap?

💡 Explanation

The intrinsic carrier concentration increases because electrons gain enough thermal energy to jump the band gap via Thermal Excitation. Therefore, the material behaves less like a semiconductor, rather than maintaining controlled conductivity from doping at lower temperatures.
