← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when gallium-arsenide transistors experience quantum tunneling?
A)Increased off-state leakage current✓
B)Improved high-frequency performance
C)Reduced channel length modulation
D)Enhanced carrier mobility observed
💡 Explanation
Increased leakage results because electrons pass barriers via quantum tunneling, even when the transistor is off. Therefore, the off-state current increases, rather than improving performance, due to unwanted conduction.
