Some electrical properties of semiconductors



1)Semiconductors have negative temperature coefficient of resistance i.e.. their resistivity decreases or conductivity increases rapidly with the temperature, especially at higher temperatures. Conductors, quite   contrary to the above, have positive temperature coefficient of resistance.
2)Their electrical conductivity is very much affected by even a very minute amount of impurity added to it.
