Which outcome occurs when significant doping reduces band gaps in a photodiode?

💡 Explanation

Increased doping narrows the band gap, leading to increased intrinsic carrier concentration. This causes increased diffusion current, therefore the reverse saturation current rises, rather than decreases, because more carriers can overcome the potential barrier. The other effects are incorrect.
