← ScienceWithin a MOSFET transistor with overly thin gate oxide, which outcome results from manufacturing variations?
A)Increased gate leakage current✓
B)Reduced channel mobility.
C)Higher threshold voltage.
D)Suppressed subthreshold conduction.
💡 Explanation
Increased gate leakage current occurs due to quantum tunneling because electrons pass through the thin oxide layer, rather than being blocked; therefore, higher leakage results, rather than improved MOSFET performance or altered electrical characteristics.
