Which outcome impairs operation when electrons experience high tunneling?

💡 Explanation

Increased dark current in a photodiode results when unwanted tunneling occurs because electrons bypass the intended energy barrier via Quantum Tunneling rather than due to incident photons; therefore this produces noise, rather than signal which would enhance performance.
