Analysis of electrode speed correlation of discharge parameters applying short-gap electrostatic discharge model

Electrostatic discharge(ESD) current waveforms in experiment measurement are sorted for charge voltage from 100 V - 3000 V, whereas electrode approach speed effects of discharge parameters are illustrated with the short-gap ESD model. Strong correlation exists between discharge parameters of electrostatic discharge and electrode approach speed. Two processes, surface process and gas electronic avalanche, in short-gap ESD model are employed to analyze the possible mechanism caused the strong correlation.
