Which mechanism causes increased electron tunneling when bias increases?

A)Fowler-Nordheim quantum mechanical tunneling
B)Increased electron effective collision diameter
C)Elevated plasmon excitation threshold
D)Inter-valley phonon scattering enhancement

💡 Explanation

Increased bias enhances the **Fowler-Nordheim quantum mechanical tunneling** because it narrows the potential energy barrier, thus higher tunneling probability follows; therefore, higher electron tunneling results, rather than thermal effects or phonon scattering.
