Which mechanism disrupts integrated circuit function during electrostatic discharge?

💡 Explanation

Electrostatic discharge introduces high energy ions in the crystal lattice which initiates channeling mechanism, causing unpredictable doping profiles and thus short circuits; therefore lattice damage results rather than dielectric damage or latch-up which involves different structures on longer timescales.
