Which outcome results when a MOSFET's gate-source voltage exceeds reliability limits?

💡 Explanation

Channel hot carrier injection leads to device degradation because high electric fields accelerate carriers, gaining enough energy to surmount the Si/SiO2 interface barrier, causing damage. This process degrades performance, rather than improving subthreshold swing as implied by other options.
