Which risk significantly elevates when semiconductor feature size decreases?

💡 Explanation

Increased quantum tunneling allows electrons to pass through insulating layers, because feature size decreases, thus barrier width diminishes, therefore leakage current rise exponentially rather than linearly with voltage due to classical electron transport.
