Which outcome occurs when a MOSFET array's gate oxide suffers dielectric breakdown?

💡 Explanation

Increased static power consumption occurs because dielectric breakdown creates a conductive path through the gate oxide of the MOSFET array, enabling leakage current; therefore, static power increases dramatically rather than improving other transistor parameters which require a functional gate.
