Which unintended consequence can appear when MOSFETs experience sustained, high electric fields?

💡 Explanation

Hot carrier injection causes threshold voltage shifts because high-energy electrons or holes are injected into the gate oxide, thereby altering the charge distribution. Therefore, the MOSFET parameters degrade, rather than exhibiting breakdown or latch-up at a macroscopic scale.
