Abstract: This work explains the impacts of temperature on the electronic conductivity of silicon and gallium arsenide. Illustrations of how conductivity varies at different temperatures were depicted using equations and graphs. The effective use of semiconductor materials depends on the proper fabrication of the material about its temperature dependence. Also, the analysis of the variation of electronic conductivity in both silicon and that of gallium arsenide with a small band gap is performed towards analyzing the impacts of this on silicon and gallium arsenide. Keywords: Temperature, Silicon, Gallium Arsenide, Conductivity, Variation.
