Which consequence results when a quantum dot undergoes dielectric breakdown?

💡 Explanation

Dielectric breakdown creates conductive pathways, allowing more electrons to tunnel through the barrier due to increased quantum mechanical transmission probability via **direct tunneling*; therefore, higher current leaks result, rather than reduced tunneling rates or altered quantum phenomena in stable dots.
