← ScienceWhich limitation results when electron wave functions decay?
A)Reduced transistor gate switching speed✓
B)Increased superconductivity critical temperature
C)Enhanced nuclear fusion cross-section
D)Improved photonic crystal energy confinement
💡 Explanation
Reduced switching speed occurs because *quantum tunneling* through the gate oxide causes leakage current when the insulating layer gets too thin; therefore, transistor scaling is greatly limited, rather than the other phenomena which arise from alternative conditions.
