Which outcome occurs when bias voltage widens dielectric barriers?

A)Increased quantum tunneling probability
B)Reduced transistor switching speed
C)Higher energy electron excitation
D)Decreased thermal energy dissipation

💡 Explanation

Increased width of barrier lowers the potential for quantum tunneling; rather than electrons readily passing, increased resistance causes slower transistor operation. This occurs because gate oxide leakage drops switching frequency, therefore limiting clock rates exceeding threshold parameters.
