Which process limits electron flow when oxide layers grow too thin in flash memory?

A)Quantum tunneling of electrons
B)Increased thermal electron emission
C)Electrostatic discharge breakdown
D)Increased Auger recombination rates

💡 Explanation

Electron flow limits as the insulating oxide layer diminishes because quantum tunneling transports electrons through the insulating barrier rather than the intended channel; leakage results therefore rather than proper charge storage because other mechanisms are not dominant here.
