An integrated circuit is formed by a semiconductor part with a semiconductor substrate and an interconnection part including levels of metals. An electrostatic-discharge sensor includes a semiconductor structure in the semiconductor part and a network of metal antennas in the interconnection part. The electrostatic-discharge sensor has at least one pair of two nodes having one of a resistive link or a capacitive link or a PN-junction link in the semiconductor structure. The antennas of the network of antennas coupled to the nodes of the least one pair of two nodes exhibit an asymmetry in one or more of shape and size.
