← ScienceWhich effect on crystal microstructure results when exceeding electromigration limits in a semiconductor?
A)Intrinsic carrier concentration will decrease
B)Void formation disrupts current flow✓
C)Substrate doping concentration fluctuations arise
D)Thermal runaway causes gate dielectric breakdown
💡 Explanation
Void formation occurs because electromigration displaces metal ions in the crystal microstructure due to high current density, creating vacancies that coalesce into voids; therefore void disrupts current rather than changes to carrier concentration because electromigration directly affects material structure not bulk properties.
