← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when minority carriers exceed equilibrium in reverse-biased photodiodes?
A)Increased reverse saturation current✓
B)Decreased depletion region width
C)Reduced sensitivity to light
D)Higher breakdown voltage margin
💡 Explanation
Increased reverse saturation current happens due to an increased density of minority carriers in the depletion region because the increased photon flux injects more carriers; therefore, more current flows, rather than reducing the current by equilibrium dynamics.
