A Complete Overview of Electrostatic Discharge ESD

A Complete Overview of Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

What is static electricity? What causes it and how does it damage components? This course takes one day to discuss and explain what ESD is, why static charge problems are not unique to one industry, what kind of unqiue problems clean rooms and fabs have with Electrostatic Discharge. It covers ways to control static generation and avoidance.

We offer this and all courses as On Site Training
