Which outcome follows increased gate voltage in FETs due to quantum mechanics?

💡 Explanation

Increased gate voltage enhances the electric field and thus increase electron QUANTUM TUNNELING through the gate oxide because electrons leak through the thin oxide layer rather than traditional channel conduction; therefore, leakage increases, rather than a clean on/off switch.
