Event Overview:

Understanding and managing the ever increasing risk of ESD (ElectroStatic Discharge) damage is a key factor in ensuring Electronic IC and System Quality and Reliability. As the scale of IC transistor gates shrink year on year, the sensitivity to ESD damage is increased.

This network event will provide delegates with an introduction to ESD Failure mechanisms and methods of protection from Chip to final Application including safe working practice in manufacture process. Industry experts will share case study learning from each of the key steps in Product Design, Development and Manufacture, including examples of ESD damage and root cause analysis.
