Which mechanism hinders electron ballistic transport when a nanoscale transistor's channel length increases?

💡 Explanation

Increased channel length raises the probability of electron-phonon scattering which degrades ballistic transport causing momentum relaxation; therefore, electrons scatter more frequently, rather than maintain lossless travel because other transport effects diminish in prominence.
