...Peter Jacob; Joachim Reiner A string of failures discovered during final testing after assembly led analysts on a long search for the cause, which turned out to be an unusual form of electrostatic discharge (ESD). Most ESD impacts on ICs occur by way of the pins. Nearly all ESD models, including...
