Which outcome occurs when resonant tunneling diode (RTD) biases approach valley voltage?

A)Negative differential resistance peak diminishes.
B)Increased quantum dot trapping efficiency.
C)Enhanced thermionic emission coefficient.
D)Enhanced LO phonon scattering dominance.

💡 Explanation

Reduced current occurs because the quantum well's quantized energy level misaligns with the emitter's Fermi level; this is resonant tunneling. A diminished negative differential resistance is observed rather than other effects because electrons are unable to tunnel, therefore current reduces.
