← ScienceWhich consequence results in a double-barrier resonant tunneling diode?
A)Increased current at specific voltages✓
B)Suppressed electron flow at all biases
C)Diode breakdown voltage is significantly lower
D)Thermal runaway irrespective of load
💡 Explanation
At resonant states, electrons quantum tunnel freely, because constructive interference creates transmission probabilities near unity. Therefore, current rises sharply at specific bias voltages rather than suppressing flow because off-resonance tunneling is attenuated.
