Which risk increases when a crystalline silicon ingot’s lattice structure contains elevated interstitial oxygen?

💡 Explanation

Minority carrier recombination elevates with oxygen impurities. Oxygen causes *defect formation*, because these localized distortions in the lattice create mid-gap states that act as recombination centers; therefore, excess oxygen enhances recombination rather than reducing carrier scattering.
