← ScienceWhich outcome results when integrated circuit capacitance is minimized?
A)Faster signal propagation occurs✓
B)Lower electromagnetic interference results
C)Overall power consumption decreases negligibly
D)Gate oxide breakdown probability increases
💡 Explanation
Integrated circuits rely on minimizing parasitic capacitance because reduced capacitance leads to faster charging/discharging via the RC time constant. This is the RC delay; therefore signals propagate more quickly rather than slower propagation, due to energy loss.
