Which thermal runaway risk increases when MOSFETs experience prolonged gate overvoltage?

💡 Explanation

Increased oxide layer conduction can occur because high gate voltage causes Fowler-Nordheim tunneling through the gate oxide. This tunneling increases gate current and power dissipation; therefore temperature rises, further increasing conduction, rather than stabilizing.
