Which consequence results when MOSFET gate oxide fails?

💡 Explanation

A gate oxide failure causes a short circuit pathway between gate and channel because the dielectric properties are compromised and permit unwanted current flow, therefore leakage shoots up dramatically rather than any improvement; threshold effects may shift but increased bulk leakage dominates.
