What is Fowler-Nordheim Tunneling?

Answer Posted / nikki

This is a phenomena associated with the gate thickness of a
transistor. When the thickness of oxide is very small there
exists a possibilty that electrons pass directly between
source and gate. This is a seond order effect and limits
the scaling down of transistor size.
