Which consequence results when quantum tunneling dominates p-n junction diode reverse bias?

A)Increased reverse current flows
B)Depletion region width decreases
C)Minority carrier injection stops
D)Forward voltage drop elevates

💡 Explanation

Increased reverse current flow occurs because electrons tunnel directly through the barrier rather than overcoming it; therefore, reverse breakdown voltage is lower than predicted, rather than normal diode behavior due to doping concentration.
