← ScienceWhich outcome primarily occurs because of increased gate current in a nanoscale transistor?
A)Increased static power dissipation✓
B)Improved high-frequency performance
C)Reduced subthreshold source leakage
D)Enhanced transistor channel mobility
💡 Explanation
Increased gate current induces higher power dissipation via resistive heating because it increases the static (idle) current; therefore, static power dissipation goes up, rather than improving performance or reducing subthreshold leakage, as these improvements generally require decreased current.
