Which outcome occurs when high current densities exceeding allowed crystalline tolerances saturate a semiconductor?

💡 Explanation

Electromigration leads to atomic displacement in the crystal lattice because momentum transfer from electrons dislodges substrate atoms; therefore structural failure occurs, rather than enhanced conduction, because the crystal structure degrades at high current densities.
