← TechnologyWhich risk increases in a MOSFET operating repeatedly near its gate oxide breakdown voltage?
A)Channel length modulation increases sharply
B)Threshold voltage instability accelerates✓
C)Subthreshold leakage current reduces
D)Thermal carrier generation is suppressed
💡 Explanation
Increased risk of threshold voltage instability emerges because the Fowler-Nordheim tunneling injects charges into the gate oxide, permanently altering its electrical properties. Therefore the threshold voltage changes rather than other channel characteristics varying minimally under normal conditions.
