Which outcome occurs when electrostatic discharge damages gate oxide layers?

A)Unintended transistor channel creation
B)Increased junction capacitance stability
C)Improved gate breakdown thresholds
D)Decreased subthreshold drain currents

💡 Explanation

The unintended transistor channel creation occurs because dielectric breakdown creates a conductive path, enabling current flow; therefore, increased unintended currents occur rather than improved stability or lower currents under normal operating biases due to the change in field.
