← TechnologyWhich risk increases when ambient temperature affects MOSFET threshold voltage?
A)Thermal runaway and device failure✓
B)Reduced gate oxide breakdown strength
C)Increased source/drain junction capacitance
D)Elimination of channel length modulation
💡 Explanation
Thermal runaway is more likely because increased temperature lowers the MOSFET threshold voltage, leading to higher current leakage. The increased leakage causes more heat generation; therefore, the transistor can fail via overheating, rather than the other failure mechanisms.
