Which outcome occurs when a germanium diode's temperature rises?

A)Increased reverse saturation current leakage
B)Decreased forward voltage threshold
C)Higher peak inverse voltage rating
D)Reduced dynamic resistance at breakdown

💡 Explanation

An increase in temperature provides charge carriers with more thermal energy. Thus, the reverse saturation current increases due to enhanced thermal generation of electron-hole pairs across the depletion region rather than reduced current; therefore, (A).
