ESD Control
This lecture course introduces the basic concepts of electrostatic discharge (ESD): how it occurs, precautionary measures to prevent electrical overstress (EOS), how to control ESD, ESD protected areas and workstations, proper mitigation techniques, proper handling techniques, and use of personal grounding devices.
Description
The ESD Control course covers fundamental aspects of electrostatic discharge (ESD), including its causes, necessary precautionary measures to prevent harm to sensitive electronic components, methods for controlling ESD within ESD-safe environments and workstations, effective mitigation techniques, correct handling procedures, and the use of personal grounding devices.
