Which outcome results from electron starvation in nanoscale transistors?

💡 Explanation

Increased gate leakage current occurs because quantum tunneling allows electrons to penetrate the thin gate oxide layer, a process named Fowler-Nordheim tunneling; therefore gate currents rise, rather than performance increasing under ideal transistor operation scenarios.
