Which outcome results when excessive doping narrows semiconductor band gaps?

💡 Explanation

Increased doping causes band gap narrowing, which lowers the barrier for minority carriers to cross the junction due to increased tunneling via Zener breakdown; therefore, increased leakage becomes more prevalent, rather than improved recombination or altered thermal/piezoelectric properties occurring.
