Which outcome occurs when thermal energy disrupts silicon crystal structure?

💡 Explanation

Increased thermal energy disrupts the lattice, increasing *thermal excitation* of electrons freeing them, because more electrons achieve energies exceeding the reduced bandgap, therefore more carriers form, rather than decreased recombination due to increased defect density weakening crystal structure.
