Which consequence results when high humidity affects integrated circuit ionic contamination?

A)Electromigration accelerates considerably
B)Passivation layers remain unaffected
C)Junction leakage decreases rapidly
D)Threshold voltages shift predictably

💡 Explanation

Electromigration accelerates significantly with increased humidity because the increase in mobile ions enhances **ionic conduction**, which draws away metal atoms; therefore, electromigration damage accumulates faster, rather than alternative behaviors that could occur under different failure mechanisms.
