Which consequence results when the gate oxide layer degrades in a flash memory cell approaching end-of-life?

💡 Explanation

An increase in bit-flipping errors occurs due to electrons tunneling through the degraded oxide layer reducing data retention. The mechanism of electron tunneling increases because the compromised integrity worsens the probability; therefore, data corruption increases rather than cycle endurance or voltage shifting.
