Which outcome is caused by electron quantum tunneling in germanium diodes?

💡 Explanation

The reverse current elevates significantly because increased doping permits electrons to tunnel via **direct band-to-band tunneling**. Therefore reverse breakdown voltage drops sharply, rather than capacitance stabilizing under reverse bias because depletion regions are bypassed.
