Which outcome results when doping silicon within tunnel diodes?

💡 Explanation

Doping creates a narrow depletion region, narrowing the region that electrons must tunnel through; *quantum tunneling* becomes more probable because the barrier width is reduced, therefore electron tunneling probability increases, rather than decreasing from an increased barrier width.
