Semiconductors are everywhere. From a phone to a weighing machine, to even remote controls. Semiconductors are advancing and revolutionizing the industry, making precision the core characteristic of semiconductor manufacturing. When even AI is depending on semiconductors, even the minutest of deviations in production incur massive losses. You might wonder, what can go wrong in semiconductor manufacturing when everything is automated and programmed? Ever heard of Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)? Yeah… the same sudden flow of electricity, when you get a shock from a doorknob, it is called Electrostatic discharge. Modern semiconductor components are very sensitive, and even the feebly detectable discharge of 30 volts can cause permanent damage to the microelectronic circuits.
ESD-derived failures don’t happen immediately; rather, it’s latent damage. In such cases, the semiconductor-dependent equipment may pass initial checks, but fail prematurely. This results in product returns and reduced brand and product reliability. Even minor ESD incidents lead to significant financial losses.
Protection against ESD ensures functionality of components like Integrated circuits (ICs), transistors, and microprocessors throughout the production process. It also reduces the waste and improves efficiency. Low ESD-based failures also ensure global compliance with industry standards like ANSI/ESD S20.20.
Just like particulate contamination, the major source of electrostatic buildup is also the human body, and proper protection plays a crucial role in making a facility ESD-safe.
We, at Steriattire, understand the importance of contamination and static control and the costs it incurs if overlooked. Our ESD-safe apparel range is designed to meet your rigorous demands of electronics and semiconductor manufacturing.
