Which inefficiency increases in quantum dot flash memory when feature size decreases?

A)Increased electron tunneling probability
B)Decreased Coulomb blockade effect
C)Enhanced hot carrier injection
D)Reduced electron-electron interaction

💡 Explanation

Increasing dot density enhances electron WAVEFUNCTION overlap and thus tunneling; because electrons escape rather than remaining trapped for long-term storage resulting in data loss. Therefore, retention time decreases substantially, rather than enhanced charge storage effects.
