Automated Electrostatic Discharge Self-Audit System in Semiconductor Industry

Privacy Self Audit System (draft)

Six Sigma is a very hot topic in the business world today. Originally developed by Motorola as a metric and methodology for reducing manufacturing defects, Six Sigma is now used to describe a broader array of process improvement methodologies. The focus of Six Sigma is to eliminate waste, redundancy, and error that result from unnecessarily complex or ill defined business processes. Over the pa...

600 B.C. Thales of Miletus discovers electrostatic attraction. 1600 A.D. William Gilbert proposes the ‘‘electric fluid’’ model. 1620 A.D. Niccolo Cabeo discusses ‘‘attractive’’ and ‘‘repulsive’’ phenomena. 1729 A.D. Stephen Gray demonstrates ‘‘electricity’’ can be transferred by wires. 1733 A.D. Charles Francois du Fay discusses two kinds of electricity—‘‘resinous’’ and ‘‘vitreous.’’ 1749 A.D. ...

Electrostatic Discharge Effects in Thin Film Transistors

Cover page: The cover photo is taken during Liquid Crystal Hot Spot measurements on a fingerprint sensor. Thank you! It rained for four years, eleven months and two days. There were periods of drizzle during which everyone put on his full dress and a convalescent look to celebrate the clearing, but people soon grew accustomed to interpret the pauses as a sign of redoubled rain. This is how a ch...

Role of Electrostatic Precipitator in Industry

Electrostatic Precipitators (ESP) are most important device used to control the pollution by collecting dust particles present on flue gases. In power plants, Coal used in Indian thermal power stations is of inferior grade, at power plant flue gas is often treated with a series of chemical process and scrubbers, having low calorific value (3500-4500)kcal/kg and high ash content due to drift ori...
