← ScienceWhich outcome results when exceeding gate insulator's breakdown voltage?
A)Uncontrolled channel current occurs✓
B)Source-drain tunneling diminishes
C)Gate capacitance value decreases
D)Subthreshold swing steepness increases
💡 Explanation
Uncontrolled channel current results from exceeding an insulators breakdown voltage because dielectric breakdown produces short circuits. It affects electron transport across the bands, leading to unexpected current flow; therefore, A is correct rather than other electron transport disruptions inside the MOSFET.
