Which risk increases when silicon crystals contain dislocations?

💡 Explanation

Dislocations scatter electrons, therefore the electron mobility decreases because electrons collide more frequently with lattice imperfections, rather than contribute to directed current flow; altered Hall or thermal responses are secondary effects.
