Which risk increases when a resonant tunneling diode (RTD) junction layer thickness decreases?

💡 Explanation

Decreasing the junction layer thickness increases the risk of reduced quantum well confinement, due to a smaller physical space limiting the quantum mechanical effects. Therefore, energy levels smear, and clear band gaps diminish, rather than enhanced thermal carrier generation under thermal equilibrium.
