Which outcome occurs upon rapidly increasing voltage across a quantum tunneling diode with Fermi-Dirac distribution functions?

💡 Explanation

Upon voltage increase, carrier distribution broadens causing increased probability of electron states mismatch which enhances carrier reflection across barriers, reducing the tunneling current based on the Fermi-Dirac distribution function. Therefore decreased current from increased reflection results, rather than increased current, stable current, or oscillating current which require resonant conditions, higher voltages or specific device structures.
