Upon silicon doping, which effect enables tunneling in microprocessors?

💡 Explanation

Electron tunneling requires significant wavefunction overlap; doping increases electron density within the allowed orbitals on either side of junctions leading to a larger overlap. Therefore, tunneling current increases rather than being limited by intrinsic material barriers because of increased available quantum states.
