Which risk significantly increases when a semiconductor crystal contains dislocations?

💡 Explanation

Increased electron-hole recombination happens because dangling bonds within dislocations act as traps. The mechanism is Shockley-Read-Hall recombination; therefore, the recombination rate rises rather than thermal expansion being affected, or superconduction being enabled.
