Which failure results when electrons tunnel through silicon dioxide?

💡 Explanation

Excessive currents drive threshold voltage shift because Fowler-Nordheim tunneling injects electrons into the gate oxide, causing charge build-up and altering transistor characteristics; therefore reduced gate control results rather than electromigration from high currents, or channel-related side effects.
