← ScienceWhich consequence results when junction barrier width decreases in semiconductors?
A)Increased electron quantum tunneling occurs✓
B)Reduced thermal carrier generation begins
C)Augmented lattice vibration amplification takes place
D)Decreased electron-hole recombination rate happens
💡 Explanation
Decreasing the junction barrier width increases electron quantum tunneling because a narrower barrier raises the probability of electrons passing through, rather than being blocked. Therefore, more tunneling occurs; it's not about thermal effects or electron-hole recombination.
