Abstract :
Using a 12-GHz digital oscilloscope, we measured discharge currents for air discharge of an ESD-gun with charge voltages below 1 kV, and demonstrated that the rise time reached the limit of measurement. Based on the Gaussian response of the oscilloscope, the rise time limit was investigated
