Which risk increases when the impurity concentration rises excessively within a semiconductor crystal used within high-frequency electronics?

💡 Explanation

Increased impurity concentration narrows the depletion region, thus causing heightened electrical fields. Field strength rise causes higher probabilities for impact ionization because electrons gain enough kinetic energy to free more electrons via band collisions, therefore limiting voltage gain, rather than options A, C, and D.
