Which outcome results when gate oxide tunneling degrades transistor reliability?

💡 Explanation

Increased subthreshold leakage occurs because electron Quantum Tunneling breaches the gate oxide's insulating layer, therefore increasing current flow when the transistor is supposed to be off, rather than improving carrier behavior or other gate effects.
