Which risk increases when a silicon crystal used in a high-power amplifier experiences rapid temperature cycling?

💡 Explanation

Accelerated thermal fatigue cracking occurs because repeated heating and cooling cause stress from differential expansion; this induces crack propagation via dislocation climb, therefore fatigue cracking is enhanced rather than a different effect like heat transfer.
