← ScienceWhich risk increases when electron mobility slows within a MOSFET?
A)Increased short channel effect✓
B)Decreased gate oxide breakdown
C)Reduced thermal runaway margin
D)Enhanced drain induced barrier lowering
💡 Explanation
Increased short channel effect occurs because reduced electron mobility hinders drain current control via the gate's electric field; therefore, the channel is less effectively turned off when desired, rather than breakdown or runaway which usually affects conductivity rather than control.
