ESD

The other type of Contamination: Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) prevention is a serious issue in elecronics, aerospace, and semiconductor industries. Invisible and undetectable, it can be more harmful than particulate contamination on a microchip. Even though sub-micron particles inside a cleanroom are invisible to the naked eye, they can cause significant damage and result in failure. The best defense against this ongoing threat is proper grounding in conjunction with quality contamination control techniques.
