Forbidden Energy gap (EG) of a semiconductor in electronic devices depends on which of the following factors?

A)
Electron affinity
B)
Interatomic distance
C)
Material constant
D)
Recombination and Generation

Correct Answer : Option (B) :   Interatomic distance


Explanation : Forbidden energy gap (EG) of a semiconductor is directly proportional to the bond strength. And bond strength depends on the interatomic distance.
