← ScienceWhich outcome typically diminishes resonant tunneling diode (RTD) performance?
A)Increased temperature broadens energy distributions✓
B)Reduced bias voltage shifts energy
C)Increased barrier width enhances tunneling
D)Decreased quantum well increases confinement
💡 Explanation
Increased temperature broadens the electron energy distribution which smears out resonant tunneling conditions because thermal energy disrupts the alignment of energy levels, therefore peak current decreases, rather than voltage differences becoming more sharp at a specific energy.
