← ScienceWhich mechanism disrupts integrated circuit function during electrostatic discharge?
A)Dielectric breakdown across gate oxide
B)Electromigration in metallic interconnects
C)Channeling in the silicon lattice✓
D)Latch-up occurrence in bulk CMOS
💡 Explanation
Electrostatic discharge introduces high energy ions in the crystal lattice which initiates channeling mechanism, causing unpredictable doping profiles and thus short circuits; therefore lattice damage results rather than dielectric damage or latch-up which involves different structures on longer timescales.
