Temperature dependence of resistivity ρ(T) of semiconductors, insulators and metals is significantly based on the following factors: 

(a) number of charge carriers can change with temperature T. 

(b) time interval between two successive collisions can depend on T. 

(c) length of material can be a function of T. 

(d) mass of carriers is a function of T.
