Which outcome occurs when a MOSFET experiences drain-induced barrier lowering?

💡 Explanation

Elevated drain voltage reduces the potential barrier, leading to increased subthreshold leakage current because drain-induced barrier lowering weakens gate control. Therefore leakage increases; rather than a controlled suppression as normally insured by gate insulation.
