Which outcome occurs when electrons bypass a heavily doped region via proximity?

💡 Explanation

Increased subthreshold leakage occurs because quantum tunneling allows electrons across the forbidden band; therefore, current leaks through areas it should not, rather than behaving as expected under classical electron transport models.
