← ScienceWhich risk increases when electrostatic discharge destroys gate capacitance?
A)Latch-up and device malfunction✓
B)Increased system clock jitter
C)Unintended antenna inductance boost
D)Higher reverse voltage avalanche
💡 Explanation
Latch-up results from parasitic bipolar transistors triggered by overvoltage breaking gate capacitance; because gate capacitance fails, increased current flow induces latch-up, therefore causing malfunction rather than jitter, avalanche or inductance changes.
