Which outcome occurs in a MOSFET-based high-frequency amplifier circuit when exceeding the gate's maximum voltage due to electrostatic discharge?

💡 Explanation

Gate oxide breakdown occurs because excessive voltage exceeds the dielectric strength forming a conductive path; therefore device isolation is ruined, rather than improved amplification, since the breakdown creates a permanent short.
