Which consequence results when quantum confinement increases in tunneling diodes?

💡 Explanation

Increased quantum confinement raises energy levels, narrowing the potential barrier. This reduces the **tunneling probability** because electrons require additional energy to tunnel. Therefore, peak, tunneling current decreases, rather than increases with a wider available energy range.
