← ScienceWhich process disrupts doped silicon wafer conductivity in extreme heat?
A)Increased phonon lattice scattering✓
B)Enhanced electron-hole recombination
C)Augmented static charge accumulation
D)Elevated substrate electron tunneling
💡 Explanation
Increased temperatures cause greater atomic motion leading to increased lattice vibrations, therefore increased scattering of electrons (phonon lattice scattering) hinders conductivity; rather than alternative effects primarily impacting carrier concentration/behavior at lower temperatures.
