History
In 1400s ESD procedure was installed to prevent electrostatic discharge ignition of black gun power in Europe and Caribbean. In1860, it was used to prevent fire and during drying process in paper mill. In modern world, ESD control is employed in many areas such as ship yard, paper industry, assembly plant, microelectronics industry, and others.

What is ESD?
ESD is defined as electrostatic discharge. It is a process of electron transfer between materials.

Dr. Lim Soo King

26

ESD Course
What is ESD?
Insulator is the main contributor of ESD. It is a material that conducts very small amount of electricity. Once the material loses or acquires electron, the electron equilibrium state remains for a long time. Material loses electron has net positive charge. Material acquires electron has net negative charge. The most common way of generating static electricity is friction (contact and separate).
Dr. Lim Soo King 27

ESD Course
What is ESD?
Induction by EM interference causing polarization of charge to other material at the polarized end. Example of such source is high tension terminal. When two materials come in contact and separate, static electricity will be generated. When the charge material comes in contact with another material, transfer of electron would occur resulting damage to the material.

The interface gap increased many folds. Capacitance decreased many folds. Potential difference between positively and negatively charged layers increased tremendously. Electric field is extremely high. Neutralization tends to happen due to gas discharge. Gas discharge if electric field is greater than 3 MV/m. Neutralization depends on rate of separation, surface resistivity of material, temperature and humidity.

Failure Mechanism due to Lifting
Capacitance is inverse proportional to separation of the capacitor. If a device on the bench having a few hundred of volt of static charge and is not sufficient to damage the circuit lifting by operator, the reduction in capacitance resulting in increase of static voltage to several thousand voltage can instantly damage the device

How to Interpret Surface Resistivity?
Surface resistivity (SR) is measured in /. It is the same irrespective of the square area. People tend to measure SR using a normal resistance meter and probe, which is wrong. SR should be measured using mega-ohm meter and square contact as provided in ASTM D257 and S11.11.

Dr. Lim Soo King

119

ESD Course
How to Interpret Surface Resistivity?
If a 10 resistance has a square surface. We say the resistance is 10 and SR is 10 /. If two similar resistors are connected in series then the resistance is 20 and the SR is not 20 /. If two of these two resistors are connected in parallel then the effective resistance is 10 and SR is 10 /. This example illustrates that SR is same irrespective of the size of the square.
