← ScienceWhich consequence results when hybrid orbital formation is disrupted between silicon atoms in semiconductor manufacturing?
A)Increased carrier scattering lowers conductivity.✓
B)Improved electron mobility within the material.
C)Higher thermal resistance reduces heat-sinking
D)Decreased band gap prevents hole formation.
💡 Explanation
Increased carrier scattering lowers conductivity because disruption to the sp3 hybridization creates defects which alter the periodic potential, obstructing carrier movement. Therefore carrier scattering increases, rather than decreasing mobility, and thus conductivity lowers.
