If the temperature of a semiconductor is increased, does its electrical resistance increase of decrease?

Question

Explain.

Answer 1

The resistance increases, because the particles are all vibrating more and faster, and it's harder for the electrons to get through.

It's like trying to walk in a corridor full of people moving randomly and faster than before.

--------------------------------------...

Sorry, my previous answer was wrong, I was thinking of metals, and not about semiconductors.

The resistance, in a semiconductor, decreases with the temperature due the formation of electron-hole pairs with the heat increase.

Answer 2

Exponentially increase.

Answer 3

Resistance decrease as the temperature of semiconductor increases. Increasing the temperature of a semiconductor promotes electrons

into the conduction band thus decreasing the resistance.  

Answer 4

leakage currents increase, breakdown voltages decrease, and resistance decreases. VF decreases.
