Which consequence results when exceeding gate oxide thickness limits in nanoscale tunnel FETs?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding limits increases gate leakage, because electrons tunnel directly through the thinner oxide layer via quantum mechanical tunneling. This increases unwanted current flow, therefore the leakage increases rather than subthreshold swings due to gate capacitance effects.
