  • Abstract
    Wear out effects resulting from multiple stresses may have significant impact on ESD characterization and testing. This is shown in examples of (vf-)TLP, HMM and CDM results on test structures and products. Wear out effects lead to lower failure levels and should be minimized to obtain the correct pass/fail levels.
