Which risk increases within a semiconductor's tunneling FET channel as gate oxide thins?

💡 Explanation

Increased electron wavefunction penetration will occur, because thinner gate oxides enhance quantum tunneling; electrons tunnel through the oxide layer. Therefore, leakage increases rather than lattice defects or concentration fluctuations because the tunneling probability scales exponentially with reduced barrier width.
