Which outcome arises due to quantum tunneling in a resonant tunneling diode when applied voltage aligns energy levels?

A)Increased current due to electron resonance
B)Suppressed conductance at resonant energies
C)Oscillation death because of electron piling
D)Diode breakdown because of the voltage

💡 Explanation

When applied voltage aligns energy levels in a resonant tunneling diode, resonant tunneling occurs because electrons can tunnel through the quantum wells, leading to a surge in current at specific voltages. Therefore, increased current results, rather than suppressed conductance since off resonance tunneling decreases.
