← ScienceWhich outcome results in a flash memory cell when Fowler-Nordheim tunneling is suppressed?
A)Data retention improves significantly✓
B)Write speed of cell increases
C)Power consumption rises dramatically
D)Cell permanently becomes non-conductive
💡 Explanation
When Fowler-Nordheim tunneling is suppressed, electrons are blocked from leaking out because the charge cannot dissipate through the oxide layer; therefore stored data is retained longer, rather than being lost due to leakage.
