Which mechanism causes current flow despite depletion region width?

💡 Explanation

Quantum tunneling enables electrons to traverse the barrier, because electrons have a probability of passing through a classically forbidden region; therefore, charge carriers tunnel rather than being blocked, because the depletion region is finite.
