This book on electrostatic discharge phenomena is essentially a
translation and update ofa Swedish edition from 1992. The book is
intended for people working with electronic circuits and
equipments, in application and development. All personnel should be
aware of the ESD-hazards, especially those responsible for quality.
ESD-prevention is a part of TQM (Total Quality Management). The
book is also usable for courses on the subject. Background It was
soon realised that the MOS-circuits (MOS=Metal Oxide
Semiconductor), which appeared in the beginning of the 1960-ties
were sensitive to electrostatic discharges. But a severe accident
accelerated the search for materials that do not generate electric
charges. In April 1964 three people were working inside a satellite
at Cape Kennedy Space Center. They suddenly screamed "we are
burning". They died. The satellite incapsulation was covered with
untreated plastics to protect against dust. When the plastics was
pulled off both this and the metal incapsulating got charged. A
discharge from the metal ignited inflammable parts of the
satellite. Eleven more people were injured and the cost of the
accident amounted to about 55 billions USD.
