Which mechanism causes high resistance when a semiconductor crystal has increased dislocations?

💡 Explanation

Increased crystal defects cause increased phonon scattering because dislocations disrupt the crystal lattice periodicity. Therefore, resistance increases due to reduced mean free path for heat transport rather than changes to electron flow under bias alone.
