← ScienceWhich consequence results when quantum tunneling breaches DRAM insulation?
A)Bit flips corrupting stored data✓
B)Capacitor leakage causing slow refresh
C)Joule heating accelerating device thermal runaway
D)Increased device resistance causing timing errors
💡 Explanation
When quantum tunneling breaches insulation in DRAM cells, electrons cross the barrier, causing unintended charge changes; this induces bit flips that erroneously alter the digital information because the charge leaks rather than maintaining intended states therefore the stored data is corrupted.
