ESD

In today's business environment, companies are forced to control costs and expenses more so than ever before.

While few argue with this, why is it then, so many still blindly throw money and resources at their ESD programs simply based on unsupported recommendations and assumptions?

With Credence Technologies equipment, executives, managers, and engineers can literally see the effectiveness of their ESD protection program and the dollars spent. Corporate ESD spending is now based on supported facts.

Our tools provide the hard data not only to justify the spending, but clearly define where the resources need to be applied.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) is an ever-increasing problem for the electronics industry. As components get more sensitive, no manufacturer can ignore the significance of the impact ESD has on yield and component reliability. In many cases, ESD causes electromagnetic interference (EMI) that contributes to equipment malfunction.

Improvements in semiconductor fabrication technology have allowed developers to create components that offer higher speeds and shrinking geometries which also contribute to increasing levels of sensitivity to electrostatic discharge. In short, ESD is an issue that is here today.and a problem that will only get worse over time.

The only answer to the crisis-based reaction to ESD problems, is effective ESD management.

Credence Technologies is the leading edge manufacturer of best-in-class ESD management solutions for the most demanding applications. Our precision instruments monitor every ESD and EMI parameter in the production environment. They provide crucial information regarding ESD and EMI in tools and at the workbenches, accurately tracking ESD exposure to components for immediate action, as well as statistical and historical information for effective ESD and EMI control measures.
