Which outcome results when oxide thickness decreases in a quantum dot flash memory array?

💡 Explanation

Decreasing oxide thickness allows more electrons to escape the quantum dot via Quantum Tunneling, because a thinner barrier increases the probability of tunneling electrons. The resulting charge loss therefore reduces the data retention lifetime rather than other performance metrics or failure modes.
