Which outcome results when transistor dimensions approach nanometer scales?

💡 Explanation

Enhanced quantum tunneling becomes significant because electrons can pass through potential barriers even without sufficient energy; therefore, device leakage increases significantly, rather than classical behavior dominating transport in the channel.
