← ScienceWhich consequence results when quantum tunneling breaches integrated circuit isolation?
A)Increased static power dissipation occurs✓
B)Improved transistor switching speeds observed
C)Reduced thermal noise generation appears
D)Enhanced signal integrity becomes visible
💡 Explanation
Increased static power dissipation occurs because quantum tunneling allows electrons to pass through insulating barriers, enabling leakage current, which causes parasitic losses via ohmic heating. Therefore, power dissipation increases greatly, rather than faster switching which depends on capacitance/drive strength.
