| Abstract: |
Semiconductor devices are fabricated at Vishay Newport and in particular, power MOSFETs.These power MOSFETS possesses vast income potential for the company now and in the immediate future as the devices are used in numerous electric appliances and gadgets. In the future, the market in Power MOSFETs will be expected, to generate considerable output revenues due to the increase in technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, electric appliances, also various electrical gadgets and the growing necessity for hybrid / electric vehicles globally, the power MOSFET market is expected to increase in lucrative opportunities. However, the devices are susceptible to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) that can cause undesirable effects and loss of potential revenue to the company due to damage on reticle etc. or loss die on the wafer and damaged die in other company products causing these products to fail. The intention of this thesis is to minimise the negative impact on productivity caused by static discharge in the production environment by using risk mitigation to lessen or remove the effects of ESD on reticles wafers etc., therefore increasing the “good” die on wafers so improving company output. The research conducted for this thesis is based on an interim report conducted for the company as a basis for this thesis, and also on various papers on the subjects of electrostatic discharge and the human body model. |
