    $\begingroup$ The key parameter here is the temperature that you heat the material to. This will determine the equilibrium intrinsic carrier concentration. Note that this is a dynamic equilibrium between generation and recombination of carriers - exciting a bunch of carriers that then quickly recombine does not change the equilibrium concentration. $\endgroup$
