← TechnologyWhich consequence results when MOSFET gate oxide fails?
A)Current leakage increases dramatically✓
B)Threshold voltage shifts minimally
C)Substrate conductivity improves significantly
D)Power efficiency increases substantially
💡 Explanation
A gate oxide failure causes a short circuit pathway between gate and channel because the dielectric properties are compromised and permit unwanted current flow, therefore leakage shoots up dramatically rather than any improvement; threshold effects may shift but increased bulk leakage dominates.
