Which consequence results when gate oxide diminishes below 2nm in CMOS?

💡 Explanation

Quiescent current increases because quantum tunneling dominates as gate oxide thickness decreases, therefore electrons pass directly through the insulating layer rather than being blocked; linearity changes less because drift effects dominate, rather than tunneling's voltage dependence.
