Science

Which outcome frequently limits the performance of tunnel diodes?

A)Increased reverse current instability
B)Reduced forward voltage oscillation
C)Suppressed electron avalanche breakdown
D)Enhanced thermal electron emission

💡 Explanation

A higher reverse current instability happens because quantum tunneling permits electron flow even when the diode is reversed. This effect compromises performance rather than avalanche breakdown because the mechanism of reverse current is tunneling, therefore the behavior is more stable.
