ESD Basics Presentation
BASIC CONCEPTS IN
ELECTROSTATIC
DISCHARGE (ESD)
Introduction
ESD Control Training
Examples Of Electrostatic
Discharge or ESD
Lightning
ESD or
ElectroStatic Discharge
Charges Seek Balance
Discharge is Rapid
Creating Heat
Two Types of
Materials Conductors
Electrical Current Flows Easily
Can be Grounded
Can Discharge
Examples: Metals and People
Two Types of
Materials Insulators
Electrical Current Does Not Flow Easily
Cannot be Grounded
Example: Plastics
Typically very high charging
Large Charges
Generated All The Time
Walking across a carpet:
1,500 - 35,000 volts
Worker at a bench:
700 - 6,000 volts
People Discharge
Frequently
But To feel a Discharge it must be
about
3,000 volts
100 volts or
less can
damage
components!

Human
Body
Model (HBM) per ANSI/ESD STM5.1
ESD Class 0:
Damage you cant feel:
Device Names:
SAW, JFETS, CCDs, Precision voltage regulator diodes,
OP AMP, Thin film resistors, Integrated circuits, Hybrids utilizing class 1 parts, VHSI, CSCRs
ESD Class 1:
Damage you cant feel: 250 to 1,999 Volts
Device Names:
SAW, JFETS, CCDs, Precision voltage regulator diodes,
OP AMP, Thin film resistors, Integrated circuits, Hybrids utilizing class 1 parts, VHSI, CSCRs
ESD Class 2:
Damage you might feel:
Device Names:
JFETs, Ics, VHSIC, Precision resistor networks (type RZ), Hybrids utilizing class 2 parts,
Low power bipolar transistors

At higher
magnification,
th
pit in the
area
between
the base
and emitter become
more obvious
Integrated Circuit
12
Types Of ESD
Device Damage
Latent Defect
Component wounded
But Inspection Passes
Catastrophic Failures
Inspection
Able to detect
13
Latent Defects
More Costly
Sub Assembly passes inspection
Assembly passes inspection
Product passes inspection
Works a while for customer
Then Upsets & Mysterious Problems
More Returns
More Warranty Costs
Lower Customer Satisfaction
14
Control Germs
Control ESD
15
The Prerequisites
of ESD Control
Identify ESD Area
Identify ESD sensitive items
Provide ESD
control training
16
Shield ESDS
When store
or transport
outside EPA
