← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a transistor's silicon lattice heats unevenly?
A)Kirkendall Effect induces void formation
B)increased thermal resistance at boundaries
C)piezoelectric effect alters band gaps✓
D)enhanced quantum tunneling probability
💡 Explanation
The uneven lattice heating leads to local strain. Lattice strain induces a piezoelectric effect shifting band gaps because crystal symmetry changes; therefore altering transistor characteristics rather than simply increasing boundary resistance.
