Science

Which outcome impairs transistor switching in semiconductors when thermal load changes band structure?

A)Reduced free carrier concentration, lower current
B)Increased phonon scattering, amplified voltages
C)Enhanced quantum tunneling, spurious signals
D)Localized Cooper pair formation, lower resistance

💡 Explanation

Reduced carrier concentration limits switching speed because increased thermal energy induces band gap narrowing via electron-phonon interactions, therefore reducing electron availability rather than enhancing scattering or tunneling, which requires different conditions.
