← ScienceWhich risk increases for data integrity in flash memory, assuming continuous operation near its voltage limit, due to repeated read operations?
A)Increased electron tunneling through oxide✓
B)Reduced channel hot carrier injection
C)Elevated bitline capacitance coupling
D)Decreased threshold voltage stability
💡 Explanation
Increased electron tunneling degrades the oxide layer, because the Fowler-Nordheim tunneling mechanism allows electrons to escape the storage cell, therefore causing data loss, rather than the injected carrier effects, which are associated with writing.
