← ScienceWhich outcome results when applying voltage and temperature constraints to silicon-based flash memory cells relying on floating gate transistors?
A)Increased program/erase cycle endurance
B)Data corruption due to electron tunneling✓
C)Improved overall data storage density
D)Reduced cell-to-cell interference effects
💡 Explanation
Data corruption increases because Fowler-Nordheim tunneling allows electrons to escape the floating gate over many read cycles when voltage is applied across it repeatedly; therefore, data is lost, rather than endurance improving under these constraints because stress accumulates over time.
