← ScienceWhich mechanism causes decreased transistor channel conductivity due to polycrystalline silicon?
A)Increased electron-phonon scattering
B)Increased grain boundary scattering✓
C)Increased ionized impurity scattering
D)Increased intervalley phonon scattering
💡 Explanation
Increased grain boundary scattering decreases conductivity because charge carriers are scattered at the boundaries of individual crystal grains in the polysilicon therefore the carrier mean free path declines, rather than enhanced phonon or impurity interactions.
