Which consequence results in a double-barrier resonant tunneling diode?

A)Increased current at specific voltages
B)Suppressed electron flow at all biases
C)Diode breakdown voltage is significantly lower
D)Thermal runaway irrespective of load

💡 Explanation

At resonant states, electrons quantum tunnel freely, because constructive interference creates transmission probabilities near unity. Therefore, current rises sharply at specific bias voltages rather than suppressing flow because off-resonance tunneling is attenuated.
