Which 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.
