← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when thermally excited electrons reach tunnel barrier limits?
A)Increased quantum tunneling probability ✓
B)Reduced Schottky barrier formation
C)Increased channel avalanche breakdown
D)Reduced electron-phonon scattering rate
💡 Explanation
Increased thermal energy raises the overall occupancy of energy states, because this enhances the *quantum tunneling probability* through the barrier. Therefore electrons more easily pass through, rather than being confined or scattered by the material.
