An atom is made up of charges
An atom is made up of charges.
In its stable state, the size of the positive charge at the centre (nucleus) of an atom is balanced by the size of all the negative charges of the electrons, making it neutral overall.
The electrons whirl around the centre like planets.
Creating a charge imbalance
When an atom loses an electron, it has a charge imbalance.
Since this atom has lost an electron, which is a negative charge, the atom is now a positive charge.
When it gains an extra electron, an atom becomes a negative charge.
Electron “lost”
A discharge
This movement of charges is called a discharge.
When something which has When something which has a charge imbalance is a charge imbalance is brought close to or touches brought close to or touches something else, a stream of something else, a stream of charges might move, to try charges might move, to try to bring the atoms back to to bring the atoms back to their stable balanced their stable balanced condition.condition.
This powerful, rapid movement of charges can damage electronic
components.
Let’s see it again!

Some devices used to remove solder from circuit boards and chips can cause high static discharges that may damage the good devices on the board. The device in question is referred to as a solder-sucker, and is available in antistatic versions for use with MOS devices.
To avoid damaging static-sensitive devices, the following procedures will help to minimize the chances of destructive static discharges:
Triboelectric generation
Basic Principles (2)
When two materials are in intimate contact, they share electrons which are at their surfaces.
When materials are in contact
The triboelectric charge of two materials in contact.
When two materials are in intimate contact, they share electrons which are at their surfaces.
When materials are in contact
It is possible for electrons to be “stolen” from one material by nuclei in the other material, because they
have a stronger force
When these materials are separated, electrons are removed from one material and are transferred to the
other material.
When the materials are separated
Electrons “lost”
Electrons “gained”
When the materials are separated
Electrons “lost”
Electrons “gained”
When these materials are separated, electrons are removed from one material and are transferred to the
other material.
This action takes place with all types of materials. With insulators, the charges remain at the points of contact. A charge spreads all over an ungrounded conductor.
The triboelectric charge when two materials placed in contact are then separated.
This action takes place with all types of materials. With insulators, the charges remain at the points of contact. A charge
spreads all over an ungrounded conductor.
When the materials are separated Electrons “lost”
Electrons “gained”
The loss and gain of these electrons creates an imbalance of negative and positive charges on the
surface of each material.
When the materials are separated
Electrons “lost”
Electrons “gained”
When the surfaces are rough, this intimacy and separation is assisted by rubbing the materials together.
When the materials are separated
Electrons “lost”
Electrons “gained”
The size of the charge (imbalance) depends on the intimacy of the contact, how fast they were separated, the humidity and the kinds of materials
When the materials are separated
Electrons “lost”
Electrons “gained”
The drier the air (lower relative humidity, RH) the higher the generated charge
The creation of a charge when materials are separated is termed “triboelectric charging”
Charging by Induction
Basic Principles
Charging by induction
The presence of this very strong force causes The presence of this very strong force causes similar charges on the surfaces of nearby similar charges on the surfaces of nearby
conductors to be repelled.conductors to be repelled.
The charge imbalance on a surface produces The charge imbalance on a surface produces an electric field.an electric field.
Charging by induction
If the conductor is grounded while it is still If the conductor is grounded while it is still influenced by the electric field, these repelled influenced by the electric field, these repelled charges go to earth, thus maintaining a charge charges go to earth, thus maintaining a charge balance in the areas of the conductor that are not balance in the areas of the conductor that are not affected by the electric field.affected by the electric field.
Charging by induction
Walking on carpet
Thoughts and theories
Walking across carpet
Walking across a carpet creates a charge imbalance on the lower surface of shoes.
A strong electric field
This charge imbalance creates a strong electric field that emanates in all directions.
The material in the sole of shoe enables a strong field to influence charges within foot.
An induced charge
Since the body is relatively conductive, the charges that are repelled from the lower regions of my foot set up a charge throughout the rest of my body.
But the body still has a balanced charge overall (it has not lost or gained any charges).
Contacting a source of charges While you are still
on the carpet (still influenced by the electric field on the sole of your shoe),you briefly touch a metallic object (a chair, table, door knob, metal stapler, etc.)
This enables charges to be provided by the metallic object.
Charging through the air
This movement of charges is thus producing an overall charge imbalance in my body, since I was previously neutral overall.
If the charge imbalance on my body is large enough, I do If the charge imbalance on my body is large enough, I do not need to touch the object, as the imbalance could allow not need to touch the object, as the imbalance could allow a movement of charges through the air.a movement of charges through the air.
An overall charge imbalance
Therefore, after that brief encounter with the metallic object, my body now has an overall charge imbalance.
Removing that charge
The only way to remove the possibility of damaging an ESD-sensitive device or assembly is to remove the overall charge imbalance on my body.
This is done by connecting my body to the ready source of charges that is at the same reference potential as the item I wish to handle - using a wrist strap or foot strap.
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE PROCESSELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE PROCESS
1. Charge is generated on the surface of an insulator.
2. This charge is transfered to a conductor by contact or induction.
3. The charged conductor comes near a metal object (grounded or ungrounded) and a discharge occurs.
4. When a discharge occurs to an ungrounded object, the discharge current flows through the capacitance between the object and ground.

In 1970’s, in USA, a space craft launching rocket exploded during the fueling operation, killing 3 engineers.
In January, 1985, during the assembly of a missile in Germany, the motor case made of Kelvar, got rubbbed against the cushioning in its container. The ESD generated caused the highly flammable propellant to catch fire and the motor exploded, killing 3 people.
3 to 30% of Integrated Circuits manufactured every year die in “infancy” due to ESD.

Human Body Model (HBM)Human Body Model (HBM)
The basic human body model consists of body capacitance and resistance. The charge is stored in the body capacitance and the discharge occurs through the body resistance.
When a charged person handles or comes in close proximity to an ESD sensitive part, the part may be damaged by direct discharge or by an electro static field.

A discharge similar to the HBM event also can occur from a charged conductive object, such as a metallic tool or fixture.
.
Charged Device ModelThe transfer of charge from an ESDS device is also an ESD event. A device may become charged, for example, from sliding down the feeder in an automated assembler. If it then contacts the insertion head or another conductive surface, a rapid discharge may occur from the device to the metal object. This event is known as the Charged Device Model (CDM).

Measurement of Static Electricity
Static electricity is measured in coulombs. The charge "q" on
an object is determined by the product of the capacitance of
the object "C" and the voltage potential on the object (V):
q=CV
Commonly, however, we speak of the electrostatic potential
on an object, which is expressed as voltage.
ESD Damage-How Devices Fail
Electrostatic damage to electronic devices can occur at any
point from manufacture to field service.
Damage results from handling the devices in uncontrolled
surroundings or when poor ESD control practices are used.
Generally damage is classified as either a catastrophic
failure or a latent defect.
