The invention relates to a verification method for an electrostatic discharge failure. The method comprises the steps that a chip to be verified is subjected to failure analysis, and damage information of the chip to be verified is recorded; damage information of a good-quality chip in the same batch of the chip to be verified is acquired, wherein the damage information of the good-quality chip isobtained after the good-quality chip is subjected to electrostatic discharge simulation damage test analysis; the damage information of the good-quality chip and the damage information of the chip tobe verified are compared and analyzed, and whether or not the electrostatic discharge failure happens to the chip to be verified is judged; when the damage information of the good-quality chip is identical to that of the chip to be verified, it is determined that the electrostatic discharge failure happens to the chip to be verified. According to the verification method for the electrostatic discharge failure, before electrostatic discharge failure analysis, the chip with a suspected electrostatic discharge failure is subjected to electrostatic discharge failure verification, the situation isavoided that an inaccurate result is obtained by directly adopting electrostatic discharge failure analysis, and the reliability of electrostatic discharge failure analysis is improved.
