Which consequence results when excessive impurities decrease the band gap in silicon?

💡 Explanation

Increased reverse saturation current dominates, because band gap narrowing facilitates electron-hole pair generation; therefore, this leakage increases rather than field breakdown or affecting carrier lifetimes because the mechanism is increased thermal carrier liberation across smaller barrier.
