ESD+Basics

This text, ESD Basics: From Semiconductor Manufacturing to Product Use was initiated on the need to produce a text that addresses fundamentals of electrostatic discharge from the manufacturing environment to today’s products. As the manufacturing world evolves, semi- conductor networks scale, and systems are changing, the needs and requirements for reliabi- lity and ESD protection are changing. A text is required that connects basic ESD phenomena to today’s real world environment.
