The ESD Handbook

<p><b>A practical and comprehensive reference that explores Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) in semiconductor components and electronic systems</b>&nbsp;</p> <p><i>The ESD Handbook&nbsp;</i>offers a comprehensive<i>&nbsp;</i>reference that explores topics relevant to ESD design in semiconductor components and explores ESD in various systems. Electrostatic discharge is a common problem in the semiconductor environment and this reference fills a gap in the literature by discussing ESD protection. Written by a noted expert on the topic, the text offers a topic-by-topic reference that includes illustrative figures, discussions, and drawings.</p> <p>The handbook covers a wide-range of topics including ESD in manufacturing (garments, wrist straps, and shoes); ESD Testing; ESD device physics; ESD semiconductor process effects; ESD failure mechanisms; ESD circuits in different technologies (CMOS, Bipolar, etc.); ESD circuit types&nbsp;(Pin, Power, Pin-to-Pin, etc.); and much more. In addition, the text includes a glossary, index, tables, illustrations, and a variety of case studies.</p> <ul> <li>Contains<i>&nbsp;</i>a<i>&nbsp;</i>well-organized reference that provides a quick review on a range of ESD topics</li> <li>Fills the gap in the current literature by providing information from purely scientific and physical aspects to practical applications</li> <li>Offers information in clear and accessible terms</li> <li>Written by the accomplished author of the popular ESD book series</li> </ul> <p>Written for technicians, operators,&nbsp;engineers, circuit designers, and failure analysis engineers,&nbsp;<i>The ESD Handbook</i>&nbsp;contains an accessible reference to ESD design and ESD systems.&nbsp;</p>
