← ScienceWhich outcome results when an electron encounters band bending within a tunnel diode?
A)Increased electron flow via quantum tunneling✓
B)Reduced reverse bias current leakage
C)Increased electron-hole recombination rate
D)Suppressed electron momentum above threshold
💡 Explanation
Increased electron flow through relies on quantum tunneling, because electrons overcome the potential barrier despite lacking sufficient energy. Therefore, current increases, rather than being reduced because electrons tunnel, which otherwise wouldn't cross.
