Which risk increases when an electron-tunnel-diode is excessively miniaturized?

💡 Explanation

Increased miniaturization raises doping concentrations, narrowing the depletion region, because this enhances **quantum tunneling**. Therefore reverse current leakage increases significantly, especially at lower voltages, rather than improved stability, due to more tunneling events.
