Which change occurs within a quantum dot transistor when an electron's confining potential well narrows substantially?

A)Resonant tunneling current increases
B)Capacitance effects are diminished
C)Coulomb blockade effect vanishes
D)Temperature dependence is eliminated

💡 Explanation

When a potential well narrows, *resonant tunneling* increases because energy levels become less discrete. Therefore, quantum tunneling transitions are more probable, rather than capacitance vanishing or blockade disappearing, owing to a smaller density of states.
