Which failure results when interconnect capacitance increases excessively on a microprocessor?

💡 Explanation

Increased interconnect capacitance causes increased signal propagation delays because the parasitic capacitance affects the time constant of circuits. Therefore, signal delays increase, rather than changing thermal thresholds, increasing EMI, or altering electron tunneling because these are different failure mechanisms.
