Which consequence results when an electron exceeds its *Fermi level* in a *metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor* (MOSFET)?

💡 Explanation

Hot-carrier injection increases because electrons with energy above the Fermi level can overcome potential barriers and enter the gate oxide. Therefore, hot-carrier injection probability increases, rather than alternative effects which require a specific voltage bias.
