Which outcome results when exceeding the Zener breakdown voltage for short channel MOSFETs?

💡 Explanation

Hot carrier injection drastically increases because the high electric field causes impact ionization near the drain. This impact ionization generates electron-hole pairs. The electrons gain kinetic energy, inject into the gate oxide and create trap states; therefore, degradation occurs rather than other outcomes caused by related mechanisms.
