← ScienceWhich risk increases substantially when a semiconductor material exceeds its Landauer Limit?
A)Increased thermal runaway instability✓
B)Increased reverse current blocking
C)Increased gate oxide breakdown
D)Increased capacitive charge leakage
💡 Explanation
Increased thermal runaway results because exceeding the Landauer Limit dumps excessive unwanted heat via Phonon Scattering into device lattice, therefore overwhelming inherent cooling mechanisms rather than other failure modes under normal limits.
