Which outcome occurs when electrostatic discharge exceeds a diode's clamping voltage?

💡 Explanation

Avalanche breakdown increases exponentially because the electrostatic discharge forces more carriers through the depletion region causing impact ionization. Therefore, current dramatically increases rather than recovery or lower voltages, particularly impacting sensitive electronics vulnerable beyond the ESD limit.
