Which risk increases greatly when applying reverse bias?

💡 Explanation

Applying reverse bias on a semiconductor enhances the electric field nearby; because the concentration gradient increases within the depletion region, impact ionization causes electron avalanche, therefore greatly increasing current and the risk of damage, rather than other effects under normal operating conditions.
