Which 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.
