← ScienceWhich risk increases if a metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) capacitor dielectric fails?
A)Damping of resonant inductive losses
B)Thermal runaway in transistor chains✓
C)Increased gate oxide quantum tunneling
D)Inversion layer width modulation effects
💡 Explanation
A dielectric failure in a MOS capacitor risks thermal runaway via increased gate leakage, because charge accumulation exceeds dissipation, therefore causing heat buildup leading to transistor damage, rather than improved damping.
