Which outcome occurs when imperfections alter silicon's band structure?

💡 Explanation

Reduced carrier mobility and conductivity results from the changed band structure; because impurities cause **impurity scattering** which lowers electron velocity and increases resistance. Therefore, conductivity drops, rather than phonon scattering increasing or harmonic generation, under bias.
