Which outcome limits integrated circuit performance when electron mobility drops?

💡 Explanation

Increased electron-phonon scattering degrades mobility; this mechanism arises from thermal vibration of the crystal lattice. This raises resistance, therefore device speed decreases rather than electrons tunneling more or holes meeting because lattice vibrations increase.
