As temperature decreases (gets colder), device voltage increases, and as temperature increases (gets warmer), the voltage decreases.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This phenomenon is generally observed in semiconductor devices due to the temperature dependence of the bandgap and carrier mobility. As temperature decreases, the carrier mobility increases, leading to a higher voltage for a given current. Conversely, as temperature increases, the carrier mobility decreases, resulting in a lower voltage.
