As temperature increases, the depletion layer width in a semiconductor decreases due to the increased thermal energy disrupting the balance of charges within the material. This disrupts the formation of the electric field that maintains the width of the depletion layer, causing it to shrink. Conversely, at lower temperatures, the depletion layer tends to widen as charges are less mobile and the electric field is more pronounced.
