Which outcome results when silicon MOSFETs experience hot-carrier injection?

💡 Explanation

Hot-carrier injection causes electron trapping in gate oxide, because high-energy carriers overcome the energy barrier to enter the oxide layer via interface states; therefore, threshold voltage shifts negatively, rather than other parameter improvements under different device stress regimes.
