Which outcome inhibits semiconductor device operation when exceeding Fowler-Nordheim tunneling limits?

💡 Explanation

Avalanche breakdown creates lattice defects, because high electric fields accelerate electrons, resulting in impact ionization which causes cascading disruption, therefore destroying the lattice and disrupting device operation, rather than Zener breakdown or increased drain current.
