State true or false for all the given statement with a line of explanation

a. Semiconductor intrinsic carrier concentration increases with temperature.
b. At the same room temperature condition, the ratio between the electron
diffusion coefficient and the electron mobility varies from material to
material.
c. Avalanche breakdown in pn junctions is mostly due to the large tunneling
current associated with high field and high doping concentration.
d. For the generation-recombination process in a forward-biased pn junction,
generation process dominates recombination process.
e. For a MOS structure with n-type Si semiconductor, it can form an
accumulation type ohmic contact if the metal work function is greater than
semiconductor work function.
f. For a n-channel depletion mode MOSFET, the channel is inverted even
with the gate-to-source voltage is zero.
