THE INFLUENCE OF ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) ON THE QUALITY OF ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY

Sergiu Adrian OGREAN, Ioan Laurențiu MĂRGINEAN, Liviu MOLDOVAN

Abstract


The burgeoning integration of large-scale integrated circuits in modern electronic techniques has transformed various spheres of human life. However, these circuits' low power consumption and delicate structures render them vulnerable to electrostatic discharge (ESD), releasing charges that can inflict significant damage within microseconds. This paper delves into the obstacles and solutions aimed at achieving Zero Defect Quality in the automotive sector, particularly focusing on electronic products and testing perspectives. It emphasizes the necessity of ESD protection in production and quality laboratories, highlighting the critical role of ESD flooring and footwear compatibility. Testing methodologies, including electrical resistance and charge generation assessments, are essential for ensuring ESD mitigation in automotive electronics production.
