← ScienceWhich risk increases when interconnect inductance falls in VLSI?
A)Simultaneous switching noise diminishes overall
B)Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage increases rapidly
C)Crosstalk-induced malfunction rises exponentially✓
D)Power grid stability improves significantly
💡 Explanation
Crosstalk increases, because a lower inductive impedance heightens capacitive coupling effects via mutual capacitance rather than being dampened by inductive reactance. Therefore, malfunction rises exponentially, rather than ESD being the failure, because inductive reactance prevents rapid changes.
