Which outcome occurs when a heavily doped silicon crystal rapidly cools?

A)Increased point defect concentrations form
B)Reduced dislocation density develops
C)Enhanced grain boundary diffusion occurs
D)Complete crystalline structure reformation

💡 Explanation

Increased point defect concentrations form because rapid cooling induces thermal stress surpassing diffusion thresholds; therefore, existing vacancies freeze rather than annealing given lattice contractions occur faster than atoms can move, leading to point defects rather than uniform restructuring.
