← ScienceWhich mechanism causes increased switching speed in strained silicon transistors?
A)Increased carrier mobility with elastic strain✓
B)Enhanced piezoelectric charge accumulation
C)Ferromagnetic domain alignment effects
D)Quantum entanglement via crystal defects
💡 Explanation
Increased switching speed results from increased electron velocity. This occurs because increased carrier mobility with elastic strain reduces effective mass, increasing drift velocity; therefore, faster switching occurs, rather than charge accumulation effects under normal biasing conditions.
