Abstract :
Electrical Overstress (EOS) is one of the major complaints from customers in the semiconductor industry. This paper will focus on the area of EOS which is power induced. Some real life examples of cases will be discussed. Practical approaches to identify the root cause in a large manufacturing environment are demonstrated. Long term preventive measures to avoid re-occurrence are proposed.
