Which risk increases significantly when transient overvoltages exceed semiconductor breakdown?

💡 Explanation

Electrostatic discharge failure emerges because the dielectric breakdown causes sudden, uncontrolled current flow. The mechanism of breakdown is impact ionization. Therefore, semiconductor failure results rather than thermal runaway because the field overwhelms the designed junctions.
