For semiconductors, the resistivity is inversely proportional to the temperature for semiconducting materials.

For semiconductors, the resistivity is inversely proportional to the temperature for semiconducting materials. Correct Answer True

For semiconductors, the resistivity is inversely proportional to the temperature of the material, that is, it has a negative temperature coefficient. When the temperature of the semiconductor is increased, large numbers of charge carriers are produced due to the breaking of covalent bonds. These charge carriers move freely, hence conductivity increases and therefore the resistivity decreases.
