Which outcome occurs when hydrostatic pressure is greatly increased upon a silicon semiconductor at room temperature?

💡 Explanation

Increased pressure narrows the silicon's band gap, causing increased carrier concentration; therefore, electron-phonon scattering via the deformation potential interaction causes decreased electron mobility, rather than saturation or thermal effects because hole concentration is only slightly affected.
