What happens when the gate oxide is very thin?

Answer Posted / pallavi saxena

It will lead to tunelling effect where carriers can tunnel
thru the gate oxide,resulting in gate leakage current
flowing into the gate.It can be reduced by using Silicon
Nitride (Si3N4) as it forms good interface with Si.
