← ScienceWhich risk increases when a flash memory device suffers repeated write/erase cycles?
A)Threshold voltage window becomes narrower✓
B)Write speed remains consistently uniform
C)Electron trap density decreases linearly
D)Tunnel oxide layer becomes more durable
💡 Explanation
A narrower threshold voltage window arises with repeated cycles because Fowler-Nordheim tunneling degrades the tunnel oxide, reducing charge storage capacity. Therefore, the margin for distinguishing logic states shrinks, rather than the tunnel oxide becoming more robust or having unchanging properties.
