How good is a conductor of pure silicon at a temp of absolute zero? How does temp change semiconductors?
Answer:
If I remember correctly, at a tem of absolute zero all movement would stop (in theory). If this is true what do you think would happen to the flow of current in any conductor.
Silicon is a really BAD conductor at absolute zero. It does best around 30 Kelvins. I included a link to a graph that shows a whole range of temperatures. Also I included a link for temperature conversion just incase you don't know it.
In the most simple device, the transistor, temperature increase will increase the collector current. The third link below goes into details with formulas. Note that heat has different effects on different types of semiconductors.
