Which risk increases when hydrostatic pressure narrows an intrinsic semiconductor's band?

💡 Explanation

Elevated pressure reducing the band gap distance increases Zener tunneling activity because quantum tunneling probability exponentially scales with decreasing barrier width; therefore Zener tunneling becomes more likely, rather than decreased diode recovery, or changed breakdown otherwise controlled by doping factors.
