Which outcome occurs when minority carriers exceed equilibrium in reverse-biased photodiodes?

💡 Explanation

Increased reverse saturation current happens due to an increased density of minority carriers in the depletion region because the increased photon flux injects more carriers; therefore, more current flows, rather than reducing the current by equilibrium dynamics.
