Which mechanism limits drain current as MOSFET gate oxide thickness decreases?

💡 Explanation

As gate oxide thins, electrons tunnel through the insulating layer due to quantum tunneling, because the barrier width reduces; therefore leakage dramatically escalates, rather than thermal or channel effects dominating at these extremes.
