Quantum Tunneling Effects

Quantum Tunneling Effects is a physical phenomenon in semiconductor device scaling whereby electrons penetrate through a classically insurmountable potential barrier due to their wave-like quantum mechanical behavior, leading to leakage currents and reduced gate control in nanoscale transistors.
