Which influence explains transistor current leakage when gate bias is off?

💡 Explanation

Quantum tunneling occurs because electrons can pass through the gate-oxide even if they lack energy to overcome the barrier. Therefore, current leaks, rather than perfectly shuts off, when the transistor should be fully off due to other effects dominating under bias.
