Which phenomenon exacerbates current leakage at diode junction?

💡 Explanation

Elevated temperature increases the population of electrons with sufficient energy to overcome the potential barrier via thermionic emission, causing increased leakage current, because more charge carriers overcome the barrier; therefore, thermionic emission worsens leakage, rather than only band bending affecting tunneling.
