Which outcome increases within a semiconductor's gate oxide layer under high electric field stress?

💡 Explanation

Increased field stress enhances **quantum tunneling** through the gate oxide, because the thinner the barrier implies greater probability of electron penetration; therefore enhanced electron tunneling leakage occurs, rather than increased capacitance because different mechanisms dictate the phenomena.
