← ScienceWhich consequence results when silicon transistor gate oxide thins?
A)Increased gate leakage current✓
B)Reduced carrier mobility occurs
C)Increased channel length modulation
D)Reduced subthreshold swing appears
💡 Explanation
Increased gate leakage happens because quantum tunneling allows electrons to pass through the thinner insulating layer. Therefore, gate leakage increases rather than mobility decreasing, due to the decreased resistance to tunneling.
