What r the phenomenon which come into play when the devices
are scaled to the sub-micron lengths?

Answer Posted / arpan

Due to scaling, the gate oxide thickness is reduced. due to
which gate oxide leakage current flows. And we know that
increase in leakage current, increases power dissipation
which leads to the damage of a cell.
