Scroll down to the bullet point:
"A discharge causes “latch-up” in a CMOS device due to triggering of silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs). "

Rob, excellent info on the different semiconductor failure modes -- and thanks to Glenn for referencing the IC tester.  I ordered one to place in the tool box next to other convenience testers like the Peak Atlas DCA-Pro.
