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: ...

The effect of low ESD immunity on a new product introduction can be both obvious and subtle. Manufacturing and test facilities adhere to ANSI standards for ESD protection and handling of chips based ...

ESD (electrostatic discharge) is a major cause of electronic-device failure that can affect the functioning of an electronic device at any stage—from manufacturing, to testing, assembly, production, ...

In the semiconductor manufacturing industry, damage and yield losses attributed to the effects of static charges are well documented along with the determination of many of the specific causes. 1 If ...

ESD grip knobs, bridge handles and levelling feet from Elesa prevent build-up of dangerous static charge and protect delicate electronic devices in the course of production or assembly processes. In ...

Cortec Corp. has taken the wrapping off its EcoSonic VpCI-125 HP Permanent ESD Stretch Film. Unlike traditional "pink poly" stretch films that offer temporary electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection, ...
