← ScienceWhich risk increases when exceeding the avalanche photodiode's breakdown voltage?
A)Uncontrolled electron-hole pair generation✓
B)Decreased response to low light
C)Reduced sensitivity to wavelengths
D)Increased device power consumption
💡 Explanation
Uncontrolled electron-hole pair generation rises because exceeding the breakdown voltage initiates impact ionization, causing exponential photocurrent rise, therefore option A is the answer, rather than reduced sensitivity, because sensitivity depends carrier multiplication within design specifications.
