Which outcome arises when elevated gate-source voltage impacts MOSFET performance?

💡 Explanation

Gate-to-source over-voltage accelerates Fowler-Nordheim tunneling through the MOSFET's thin gate oxide. Because excessive charge tunnels, it causes dielectric breakdown, therefore permanent damage occurs, rather than performance degradation or channel modulation changes.
