← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when pressure increases a Zener voltage?
A)Increased reverse saturation current
B)Decreased avalanche breakdown voltage
C)Altered depletion layer width✓
D)Enhanced forward bias conduction
💡 Explanation
Altered depletion layer width results because piezoresistive effect modifies the band structure. Increased pressure on its crystal lattice narrows the band gap, thereby reducing the depletion width, rather than increasing saturation current or enhancing forward current.
