Which outcome results when differential doping near the metal-semiconductor Schottky junction is insufficient?

💡 Explanation

Insufficient doping causes depletion region widening at the Schottky junction; the resulting field enhances tunneling via Zener breakdown. Therefore, reverse leakage increases dramatically because tunneling dominates current flow, rather than minority carrier diffusion.
