← ScienceWhich outcome results when strain increases in semiconductors?
A)Band gap structure is modified✓
B)Hall effect coefficient decreases
C)Dielectric strength improves vastly
D)Intrinsic carrier concentration reverses
💡 Explanation
The band gap changes because deformation potentials alter the relationship between energy bands in semiconductors. Increased strain specifically impacts the band structure; therefore, changing the electronic and optical characteristics rather than alternative transport or breakdown behaviors.
