Which outcome occurs when exceeding silicon crystal's tensile strength?

💡 Explanation

Brittle fracture occurs under tension because cleavage plane weakness induces Griffith crack propagation, therefore a crack spreads rapidly, rather than deforming plastically due to limited dislocation movement in the tetrahedral crystal.
