Which mechanism limits electron mobility in silicon transistor channels at cryogenic temperatures?

💡 Explanation

Surface roughness scattering dominates because carrier de Broglie wavelengths become comparable to interfacial imperfections enhancing surface interactions, resulting in increased scattering; therefore mobility is limited, rather than increased phonon scattering at higher temps.
