Today’s semiconductor devices are built with nanometer-scale features and operate at increasingly lower voltages—which makes them more susceptible to even minor electrical overstress.Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a persistent, costly challenge in the electronics industry. A discharge of just 100 volts can degrade or destroy sensitive components designed to operate at voltages as low as 1.2 V.According to the EOS/ESD Association…
