Which mechanism causes increased electron tunneling across semiconductor interfaces in strained silicon MOSFETs?

💡 Explanation

Orbital hybridization modifies the band structure; therefore the effective electron mass decreases, augmenting tunneling probability because the electrons behave as increasingly delocalized waves, rather than localized particles. Phonon scattering and widened depletion regions alter classical conductivity.
