Description
The course aims to provide the foundation material for understanding electrostatics and electrostatic discharge (ESD) and their role in the manufacture and handling of ESD sensitive devices. The fundamental properties of charge, electric fields, voltage, capacitance and current are discussed with a view towards understanding key electrostatic phenomena and electrical processes. These include charge generation and decay, material properties and induction. An overview of Human Body Model (HBM) and other ESD common referred models is presented, including how these models impact ESD control programs.
The course provides an overview of ESD control procedures during handling and manufacturing activities, and an overview of ANSI-ESD-S20.20 program requirements. The presentation includes many in-class interactive discussions and animated slides.
