← ScienceWhich outcome limits electron flow within silicon-based transistors?
A)Forbidden energy band gap widening✓
B)Increased phonon scattering frequency
C)Increased electron-hole recombination rate
D)Uncontrolled quantum tunneling occurrence
💡 Explanation
A wider band gap impedes electron movement because electrons require more energy to jump into the conduction band; widening occurs due to various material or electrical stressors, therefore limiting transistor performance, rather than options related only to electron scattering.
