Within tunneling diodes, which behavior results when the applied reverse voltage further depletes mobile carriers?

💡 Explanation

Fowler-Nordheim tunneling occurs because tunneling probability decreases exponentially with depletion width; therefore reverse voltage impedes tunneling, reducing current flow, rather than inducing Zener breakdown under different voltage polarity.
