Which mechanism causes increased signal distortion in high-frequency integrated circuits?

💡 Explanation

Increased signal distortion at high frequencies is caused by parasitic capacitance. This parasitic capacitance induces impedance mis-matching because the reactance varies inversely with frequency, therefore more signal distortion occurs at higher frequencies rather than due to other processes.
