← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when applying pressure exceeding the threshold on a MOSFET’s physically-defined band gap?
A)Increased reverse saturation current✓
B)Decreased carrier effective mass
C)Increased dielectric breakdown strength
D)Reduced channel length modulation
💡 Explanation
Increased reverse saturation current results from exceeding pressure threshold, causing band gap narrowing, because pressure affects interatomic spacing, thereby decreasing energy difference, therefore tunneling current drastically increases , rather than affecting mass/breakdown/length modulation which have other causes.
