Which consequence emerges if a silicon crystal lattice lacks sufficient orbital hybridization?

A)Decreased minority carrier lifetime
B)Increased piezoelectric coefficient
C)Elevated superconductive transition point
D)Reduced second harmonic generation

💡 Explanation

Decreased minority carrier lifetime occurs because insufficient orbital hybridization weakens covalent bonds within the lattice, therefore increasing defect density which generates more electron-hole recombination sites, rather than enabling piezoelectricity.
