Which behavior results when a semiconductor diode's depletion region narrows?

A)Increased forward current conduction occurs
B)Avalanche breakdown voltage increases
C)Reverse bias leakage current reduces
D)Capacitance of the diode plateaus

💡 Explanation

Increased forward current occurs because a narrower junction enables more charge carriers to traverse using drift and diffusion, therefore lowering resistance, rather than increasing breakdown, because the electric field isn't affected, nor the intrinsic capacitance.
