← ScienceWhich mechanism increases electron mobility in strained silicon?
A)Band structure deformation✓
B)Surface plasmon resonance
C)Quantum Hall Effect
D)Increased phonon scattering
💡 Explanation
Electron mobility increases in strained silicon because band structure deformation alters the effective mass of electrons reducing collisions. Therefore, the mobility rises due to easier travel, rather than plasmon creation altering the electric field.
