Which outcome limits voltage scaling in molecular electronics?

A)Increased intramolecular electron tunneling
B)Reduced dielectric breakdown strength
C)Enhanced electromigration of metal atoms
D)Decreased thermal conductivity of insulator

💡 Explanation

Increased intramolecular electron tunneling limits the voltage because the tunneling probability grows exponentially with applied voltage, therefore, dominating conduction rather than desired switching behaviour, rather than other limiters such as dielectric breakdown occurring first.
