← ScienceWhich outcome arises from substitutional impurity atoms modifying a silicon crystal lattice?
A)Increased electron-hole recombination rate✓
B)Reduced thermal conductivity coefficient
C)Enhanced piezoelectric charge generation
D)Decreased Fermi energy oscillation amplitude
💡 Explanation
Increased electron-hole recombination occurs because substitutional impurities introduce energy levels within the band gap, enabling trap-assisted recombination. Therefore, recombination rate increases rather than piezoelectricity enhancement because lattice strain changes affect carrier lifespan less under the given conditions.
