Which consequence results when an NMOS transistor’s gate dielectric strength exceeds the theoretical limit?

💡 Explanation

Gate dielectric breakdown causes quantum tunneling because the electron can tunnel through the thin oxide layer given a sufficient electric field. Therefore, it leads to current leakage rather than other classical effects under normal operation.
