← ScienceWhich outcome limits integrated circuit performance when electron mobility drops?
A)Increased electron-phonon scattering✓
B)Reduced electron tunneling rate
C)Enhanced electron-hole recombination
D)Quantum capacitance augmentation
💡 Explanation
Increased electron-phonon scattering degrades mobility; this mechanism arises from thermal vibration of the crystal lattice. This raises resistance, therefore device speed decreases rather than electrons tunneling more or holes meeting because lattice vibrations increase.
