Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a major reliability concern for modern ICs. Ensuring the robustness of ICs in an ESD event by providing adequate ESD protection is proving to be a major challenge for ...

Electro static discharge (ESD) poses a real threat to product quality, and is di cult to spot. ESD standards are continuously updated to keep pace with changes in technology and new test equipment ...

Electronic design automation (EDA) verification of electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is a complex task. Different integrated circuit (IC) design companies use different ESD protection ...

Designing an integrated circuit (IC) for communication, computing, gaming, and other emerging applications is a multi-million dollar project, requiring rigorous design methodology and substantial ...

Since the 1980s, static-protective packaging has been classified and tested by EIA-541-1988 and its predecessor, IS5A. This first effort to encompass all types of ESD-protective packaging classified ...

Static electricity can be defined as a stationary charge that builds up on the surface of a material. The interaction between stationary charges, known as electrostatics, leads to two key problems: ...
