Which risk increases when a semiconductor’s doping concentration increases beyond a threshold?

💡 Explanation

As doping concentration rises, the distance between dopant atoms shrinks, and the potential barrier width decreases; quantum tunneling between close orbitals increases the likelihood that electrons will tunnel through. This results in reduced confinement rather than increased. Therefore, C rather than A, B, or D.
