  • Abstract
    The cause of gross capacitor shorts on Gallium Arsenide MMIC´s was traced to a resist removal operation in the plating process. This paper presents a methodology for the identification and removal of ESD sources found on production equipment used in the fabrication of GaAs devices on 100 mm substrates.
