Which consequence results when the passivation layer on a microchip thins to nanoscale limits?

💡 Explanation

Increased quantum tunneling results because as the passivation layer thins, the **quantum tunneling** probability increases, allowing electrons to pass through the insulating layer; therefore, increased current flow occurs rather than reduced interference due to classical electromagnetism.
