Which effect on crystal microstructure results when exceeding electromigration limits in a semiconductor?

💡 Explanation

Void formation occurs because electromigration displaces metal ions in the crystal microstructure due to high current density, creating vacancies that coalesce into voids; therefore void disrupts current rather than changes to carrier concentration because electromigration directly affects material structure not bulk properties.
