← TechnologyWhich failure mode develops when thermal runaway degrades semiconductor junctions within an accelerometer?
A)Drift in the bias signal✓
B)Increased sensitivity to vibrations
C)Reduced bandwidth of measurements
D)Decreased power consumption
💡 Explanation
Bias drift results from junction degradation; sensor overheating changes material properties, inducing offset in the signal path becausethe increased current changes the intended operating point rather than changing filtering. Therefore, thermal runaway shifts the baseline rather than affecting other output characteristics.
