← ScienceWhich outcome results when transistor dimensions approach nanometer scales?
A)Enhanced quantum tunneling becomes significant✓
B)Ohmic resistance dominates channel conductivity
C)Electron mobility attains ballistic transport
D)Parasitic capacitance becomes functionally irrelevant
💡 Explanation
Enhanced quantum tunneling becomes significant because electrons can pass through potential barriers even without sufficient energy; therefore, device leakage increases significantly, rather than classical behavior dominating transport in the channel.
