ESD Control in the Workplace
Electrostatic Discharge is a widespread, costly, and troublesome
source of failure in electronic systems. The problem has become even
more severe recently due to the use of electronic components with increased
ESD sensitivity.
This one-day seminar takes the mystery out of the subject of ESD
control in the workplace (factory, development lab, or office). The
basic physics of electrostatics, static generation and discharge models,
coupling mechanisms, and environmental control, and monitoring methods
are discussed and demonstrated.
Participants should go away with an understanding of how to develop
and implement a static control program in the workplace.
