Which consequence results when the Boltzmann constant significantly decreases in a semiconductor?

💡 Explanation

Decreased Boltzmann constant reduces the average thermal energy of charge carriers via the mechanism of thermal excitation; therefore, thermal noise decreases because lower thermal energy leads to less random electron motion, rather than altered band gaps or overall mobility.
