Opis

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) is a pervasive issue in the semiconductor industry affecting both manufacturers and users of semiconductors. The problem worsens with each new generation of parts and components. As technology scales to higher levels of integration, circuits become more sensitive to ESD and the design of protection becomes more difficult. This text presents an overview of ESD as it effects electronic circuits and provides a concise introduction for students, engineers, circuit designers and failure analysts. This handbook is written in simple terms and is filled with practical advice and examples to illustrate the concepts presented. While this treatment is not exhaustive, it presents many of the most important areas of the ESD problem and suggests methods for improving them. The key topics covered include the physics of the event, failure analysis, protection, characterization, and simulation techniques. The book is intended as both an introductory text on ESD and a useful reference tool to draw on as the reader gains experience.
