← ScienceWhich consequence often overcomes transistor scaling limitations via strain?
A)Increased electron mobility due to strain✓
B)Reduced ion implantation channel spacing
C)Enhanced thermal dissipation through silicon
D)Decreased gate oxide tunnelling probability
💡 Explanation
Increased electron mobility in strained silicon can overcome limitations because applying strain alters the crystal lattice, modifying the electronic band structure; therefore boosting electron flow, rather than alternative changes to the geometry or thermal dissipation.
