Which consequence results when electrostatic discharge occurs across microchip components?

💡 Explanation

Electrostatic discharge creates a strong electric field, therefore dielectric layers fail because of dielectric breakdown, exceeding the material's insulation limit, rather than thermal damage and this is because the dissipation is highly localized.
