  • Abstract
    Giant Magnetoresistive sensors used in the storage industry to read data written on magnetic media are highly susceptible to ESD damage. While some ESD events completely destroy a sensor, others can leave the sensor in a partially damaged state (soft ESD). We study the effect of soft ESD damage on drive performance.
