Introduction
Abhay Singh
All Materials Tribocharge
• When 2 Surfaces in
Contact then Separate
• Some Atom Electrons Move
Causing Imbalance
One Surface Has Positive Charge
& One Surface Has Negative
Charge
ElectroStatic Charge Generation:
Abhay Singh
Examples Of Electrostatic
Discharge or ESD
• Lightning
• Zap from a door
Abhay Singh
ESD or
ElectroStatic Discharge
• Charges Seek Balance
• Discharge is Rapid
• Creating Heat
Abhay Singh
Two Types of
Materials Conductors
• Electrical Current Flows Easily
• So Can be Grounded
• Can Discharge
• Examples Metals and People
Abhay Singh
• 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 volts1,500 - 35,000 volts
• Walking over untreated vinyl floor:
250 - 12,000 volts250 - 12,000 volts
• Vinyl envelope used for work
instructions: 600 - 7,000 volts600 - 7,000 volts
• Worker at a bench:
700 - 6,000 volts700 - 6,000 volts
• Unwinding regular tape:
9,000 - 15,000 volts9,000 - 15,000 volts

But To feel a
Discharge it
must be
about
3,000 volts

Electronic Component ESD
Sensitivity (ESDS)
Human Body Model (HBM)
• ESD Class 1: Damage you can’t feel:
• ESD Class 2: Damage you might feel:
• ESD Class 3: Damage you can probably
detect as spark with your
own body:
200 to 1,999 Volts
2,000 to 3,999 Volts
4,000 to 15,999 Volts
• ESD Class 0: Damage you can’t feel: 0 to 199 Volts
Abhay Singh
Tiny Conductive Paths Can
Easily Be Damaged
Smaller components mean greater sensitivity to ESD. Damage
to these components can not be detected by the naked eye.
• Integrated Circuit
• At higher
magnification,
the pit in the
area between
the base and
emitter becomes
more obvious
• At this
magnification
we see that
1/2 of the
width of the
material
has been
destroyed
Abhay Singh
Types Of ESD
Device Damage
• Latent Defect
Component wounded
But Inspection Passes
• Catastrophic Failures
Inspection
Able to detect
Abhay Singh
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
Like Germs, ESD Is The
Hidden Enemy
Control Germs
We are aware of
sterilization in medicine
We should develop the
same attitude about ESD
Control ESD
Abhay Singh
The Prerequisites
of ESD Control
• Identify ESD Area
• Identify ESD sensitive items
• Provide ESD
control training
Abhay Singh
The Basics Of ESD Control
• Ground Conductors
• Shield ESDS
When store
or transport
outside EPA
• Neutralize
insulators
with ionizers
Abhay Singh
• Wrist Straps
Ground Conductors
Including People
• Must work, so
test wrist strap daily
• Foot Grounders
• Must work, so
test foot grounder daily
Abhay Singh
Ground All Conductors in
ESD Protected Area
• Dissipative WorkSurfaces
– Ground ESD worksurface via
ground cord to common point
ground to equipment ground
• Conductive Floor Mats
– Ground ESD floor mats via
ground cord to equipment
ground
Abhay Singh
Neutralize Insulators
Via Ionizers
• Ionizer air flow floods area with Ions
- Neutralizing Charge
• Charged Insulators Cannot be grounded
Abhay Singh
Shield ESD Sensitive Items
Outside Protected Area
Faraday Cage
• Closed Metallized Shielding Bag
Charges Kept on Outside
of Package:
• Covered conductive tote box
Abhay Singh
ESD Protected Products
Regular Versions changed to be
Low Charging and/or Groundable
• ESD Smocks and Gloves
Remove Insulator or Change to ESD Version
• Conductive Foam & Shunt Bars
• Antistatic or Low Charging Tape
• Dissipative Binders & Document Protectors
• Dissipative Floor Finishes
• Conductive & Dissipative Flooring
Abhay Singh
You Are On The Front Lines
Fighting The Hidden Enemy
• Test Wrist Straps & ESD
Footwear daily
• Keep wrist band snug,
foot grounder grounding
tab in shoe, & ESD
Smocks buttoned up
• Only trained or escorted
people allowed in ESD
Protected Area
Abhay Singh
• Keep work area clean &
clear of insulators
• Handle un-packaged ESD
sensitive items only when
grounded
• Visually check all grounding
cords to make sure they are
connected
You Are On The Front Lines
Fighting The Hidden Enemy
Abhay Singh
• Make sure Ionizers
are maintained and air
flow is not blocked
• Use shielded packaging
for shipping or storing
ESD sensitive items
outside the ESD
Protected Area
You Are On The Front Lines

Editor's Notes

  • #2 Abhay Singh
  • #3 Abhay Singh
  • #5 Better to say Static Charge Generation; ‘zap’ clip art indicates discharge which is not appropriate.
  • #6 Theses are not examples of Static Electricity; they are examples of Electrostatic Discharge, ESD
  • #7 Bottom illustration indicates charge transfer, not a ESD event not a discharge
  • #8 Bottom illustration indicates charge transfer, not a ESD event not a discharge
  • #9 Also, Static Charge can be Retained on an isolated conductor
  • #15 Aren’t Upset, Latent, & Catastrophic the 3 Types?
  • #16 Aren’t Upset, Latent, & Catastrophic the 3 Types?
