Electrostatic Discharge Protection

open access: yes, 2017
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is one of the most prevalent threats to electronic components. In an ESD event, a finite amount of charge is transferred from one object (i.e., human body) to another (i.e., microchip). This process can result in a very high

Electrostatic discharge - A tutorial

IEEE SCV EMC, 1994
The paper is in three sections covering ESD characteristics, mitigation techniques and a review of standards. Typical cases are given for discharges from human bodies and furniture. Static safe materials are reviewed. Simulators and test setups are given for various situations.

Saturn electrostatic discharges

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1984
Electrostatic discharges were recorded by the Planetary Radio Astronomy (PRA) instrument aboard both Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 at Saturn closest approach. Two distinct kinds of data are involved: spectral scans covering the range from 20 kHz to about 40 MHz and discrete frequency, high time resolution, scans of duration about 48 seconds near 10 MHz. Both

Electrostatic discharge

International Journal of Quality & Reliability Management, 1997
Posits that most modern electronic equipment, particularly those involving metal‐oxide‐semiconductor technologies, are susceptible to electric overstresses which can cause performance degradation and lead to equipment failure. Probably the most problematic of these stresses is known as electrostatic discharge (ESD).

Electrostatic discharge (ESD)

IEEE Potentials, 2004
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) refers to the sudden transfer (discharge) of static charge between objects at different electrostatic potentials. ESD belongs to a family of electrical problems known as electrical overstress (EOS). ESD poses a serious threat to electronic devices, such as microcircuits, transistors, and diodes, and affects the operation ...

Electrostatic Dischargers for Aircraft

Journal of Applied Physics, 1947
Methods of discharging static electricity from aircraft in flight so as to reduce or eliminate corona interference, commonly known as precipitation static, are discussed. These methods have been classified into those employing either gaseous ions (high mobility), or those employing charge carriers such as water spray or dust particles (low mobility ...

Electrostatic discharge: a review

IEE Colloquium on ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) and ESD Counter Measures, 1995
The advent of practical problems associated with electrostatic discharge (ESD) has reawakened a wider interest in static electricity and again brought it to the fore. One of the main practical problems has been as a consequence of electronic circuits getting smaller, since it takes less energy to destroy them. While this paper mainly addresses ESD with

A new electrostatic discharge failure mode

IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices, 1978
A new electrostatic discharge failure mode was discovered which affects MOS LSI components in hermetic packages with nonconductive lids. Failure can be induced by spraying package lids with canned coolant. It is shown that charge from the freeze spray causes breakdown in the air-gap between the die surface and the lid.

Electrostatic discharge in semiconductor devices: an overview

Proceedings of the IEEE, 1998
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is an event that sends current through an integrated circuit (IC). This paper reviews the impact of ESD on the IC industry and details the four stages of an ESD event: (1) charge generation, (2) charge transfer, (3) device response, and (4) device failure.

Simulation of electrostatic discharges

Journal of Electrostatics, 1990
Abstract The prime cause of breakdown in electronic equipment today is still the effect of electrostatic discharge (ESD). The precise and reproducible simulation of such discharges using standardised and internationally recognised procedures is an indispensable tool for improving the quality of an electronic product by identifying potential weak ...
