← ScienceWhich consequence results when electron collisions exceed gate oxide limits?
A)Latch-up becomes more likely
B)Increased dielectric breakdown results✓
C)Channel length modulation increases
D)Subthreshold leakage becomes significant
💡 Explanation
Increased electron collisions lead to higher energy levels; therefore, impact ionization occurs, initiating accelerated dielectric breakdown, because high energy electrons cause defects in the oxide layers, rather than only latch-up from parasitic bipolar transistors.
