Speaker: Prof. Juin J. LIOU, University of Central Florida, USA Title: Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection Solutions of BiCMOS/CMOS Integrated Circuits Abstract:Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is one of the most prevalent threats to electronic components. It is an event in which a finite amount of charge is transferred from one object (i.e., human body) to the other (i.e., microchip). View More |
