Which outcome occurs when rapidly cooling crystalline silicon?

💡 Explanation

Micro-cracks propagate due to unequal thermal contraction because the thermal expansion anisotropy generates localized stresses exceeding tensile strength, therefore cracking is promoted rather than amorphous transition because recrystallization is kinetically limited and dopant diffusion slows down.
