← ScienceWhich consequence results when increased point defects introduce localized states near transistor band edges?
A)Increased electron-hole recombination rates✓
B)Enhanced phonon scattering
C)Blueshift in fluorescent emission
D)Reduced dielectric breakdown strength
💡 Explanation
Increased point defects near band edges create trap states, which increases electron-hole recombination rates because defects act as recombination centers, removing carriers faster. Therefore, carrier lifetime declines rather than enhancing lattice vibrations or emission changes.
