← ScienceWhich mechanism causes electron mobility saturation within gallium nitride crystals?
A)Interband deformation potential scattering
B)Surface recombination velocity increase
C)Impurity induced channel pinch-off
D)Polar optical phonon scattering✓
💡 Explanation
The electrons interact strongly with lattice vibrations, causing polar optical phonon scattering because GaN is a highly polar material. Channel electron mobility saturates above a critical electric field, therefore, velocities are capped rather than being limited by impurity scattering at normal carrier densities.
