What is "Electrostatic Discharge "?
An electrostatic discharge (ESD) is an electric current driven by an excess electric charge stored on an insulating object. The term is usually used in the electronics and other industries to describe momentary unwanted currents that cause damage to electronic equipment.
ESD is a serious issue in electronics, because integrated circuits are made from semiconductor materials such as silicon and insulating materials such as silicon dioxide, which can break down if exposed to high voltages. Manufacturers and users of integrated circuits must take precautions to avoid this problem including the use appropriate packaging materials.
