Which outcome occurs when electrons encounter a semiconductor's energy barrier?

💡 Explanation

Exponential current decay appears because electron Quantum tunneling allows some electrons to propagate through a barrier, rather than being fully stopped. Therefore, current drops exponentially with the width, rather than immediate reflection or blockage.
