← ScienceWhich outcome primarily arises when applied voltage permits electrons to occupy normally forbidden orbital energy levels in gallium nitride?
A)Increased current through the diode✓
B)Decreased thermal runaway threshold
C)Augmented reverse bias capacitance
D)Reduced electron-hole recombination rate
💡 Explanation
Increased current through the diode occurs because significant **tunneling** through the material's band gap allows electrons to occupy higher energy states, which increases conductivity; therefore, current increases, rather than decreases thermal threshold or changes recombination.
