← ScienceWhich 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.
