← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a silicon wafer's parasitic capacitance increases unexpectedly?
A)Higher operational gate switching delays✓
B)Reduced diode reverse recovery time
C)Decreased substrate doping concentration
D)Increased minority carrier lifetime
💡 Explanation
Increased parasitic capacitance leads to higher gate switching delays because the gate requires more charge accumulation during switching due to increased capacitive load; therefore, the switching transitions become slower, rather than faster as implied by other changes.
