Which consequence results when the dielectric constant of gate oxide in a MOSFET continuously degrades?

💡 Explanation

Elevated gate current leakage appears because electron tunneling increases through increasingly thin gate dielectric, driven by the reduced resistance; this Quantum Tunneling causes current flow rather than normal operation because the gate insulation breaks down.
