← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when electron mobility decreases in an NMOS transistor channel?
A)Drain current saturation decreases✓
B)Gate oxide breakdown is prevented
C)Thermal runaway will be initiated
D)Substrate doping concentration declines
💡 Explanation
Decreased electron mobility increases the channel's resistance, and therefore decreases drain current saturation because the electric field needed for velocity saturation is higher, rather than other failure mechanisms; the voltage threshold is affected under different conditions.
