← ScienceWhich consequence results when the passivation layer on a microchip thins to nanoscale limits?
A)Increased quantum tunneling current flows✓
B)Increased bulk resistance limits charge
C)Reduced electromagnetic interference occurs
D)Reduced thermal conductivity creates hotspots
💡 Explanation
Increased quantum tunneling results because as the passivation layer thins, the **quantum tunneling** probability increases, allowing electrons to pass through the insulating layer; therefore, increased current flow occurs rather than reduced interference due to classical electromagnetism.
