ESD (electrostatic discharge)—the sudden andmomentary electric current that flows betweentwo objects at different electrical potentials—causes equipment failure and network downtime,thus causing ...
» New advances in materials often improve performance or reliability, but these characteristics can sometimes run counter to the needs of people who must control electrostatic discharge (ESD) events.
A study to evaluate the applicability of IEC-61000-4-2 testing at the semiconductor device level finds that results depend more on variations in test setup than in ESD sensitivity. Donna Robinson-Hahn ...
