A critique of the approach to controlling electrostatic risk in semiconductor production and identification of a potential risk from the use of equipotential bonding
Equipotential bonding, whereby objects are connected to a common electrical potential (usually ground) to prevent electrostatic discharges during material handling, has been shown to increase the risk of field-induced reticle damage. It is explained how the presence of an electric field can cause el...
