Which process disrupts doped silicon wafer conductivity in extreme heat?

💡 Explanation

Increased temperatures cause greater atomic motion leading to increased lattice vibrations, therefore increased scattering of electrons (phonon lattice scattering) hinders conductivity; rather than alternative effects primarily impacting carrier concentration/behavior at lower temperatures.
