The probability of electrons to be found in the conduction band of an intrinsic semiconductor
\mathrm{P(E)=\frac{1}{1+e^{\frac{\left(E-E_F\right)}{k T}}} ; \text { where } k=\text { Boltzmann's constant }}
Hence, at a finite temperature, the probability decreases exponentially with increasing band gap
