Which outcome occurs when applying reverse bias to a semiconductor?

A)Increased depletion region width
B)Increased electron-hole recombination
C)Decreased band bending effect
D)Decreased channel conductance value

💡 Explanation

An increased depletion region width on either side of the p-n junction happens because the reverse bias attracts more majority carriers away from the junction via Drift. Therefore, region width increases rather than others; forward bias decreases the region's width.
