Which outcome results when approaching the oxide thickness limit on a FLASH memory’s floating gate?

A)Increased bit flips and data loss
B)Reduced voltage threshold and cell isolation
C)Improved write endurance is observed
D)Decreased programming voltage during write

💡 Explanation

Increased bit flips occur because *quantum tunneling* of electrons through the thinner oxide layer increases. This unintentional charge leakage causes data remanence issues, therefore increasing the probability of errors, rather than stable endurance profiles from thicker layers under controlled charging processes.
