Share:
- 1It is directly proportional to the applied reverse bias voltage.
- 2It is primarily composed of majority carriers drifting across the depletion layer.
- 3It is extremely temperature-sensitive and is caused by the flow of minority carriers generated by thermal energy.✓
- 4It decreases as the depletion layer width increases under higher reverse bias.
Correct answer
It is extremely temperature-sensitive and is caused by the flow of minority carriers generated by thermal energy.
