Fiber-Based ATM Computer Network Performance and Survivability Issues under Soft Failure Conditions
… optimum performance and complete network failure was investigated. Changes in performance were studied as seen by the application layer of the network as attenuation was introduced at the physical layer of the network. The network performance was measured for four groups of tests running …

Logic upset induced by substrate current during power-on ESD
… describe an experimental study of one possible soft failure mechanism during power-on electrostatic discharge (ESD). For contact discharge into a test chip mounted on a board, logic upsets can be triggered by a parasitic NPN structure which couples the ESD protection to an N+ diffusion in the …

Detection, diagnosis and modeling of ESD-induced soft failures - a gate-level and mixed-signal approach
… and a significant portion can be attributed to soft failure induced by system-level ESD. Despite that, the ESD-induced permanent failures are well-studied and protection mechanisms have proven to work, the studies on ESD-induced soft failures are all on the physical and transistor level. In this …

Investigation of system-level ESD induced soft failures
… from temporary system malfunction to permanent failure of components within the system and/or the system itself. Permanent failure of components, also known as hard failure, is a well-studied area among the ESD community with established practices in place for mitigating the stress and improving …

Investigating soft failures induced by system-level ESD
… and application-level manifestations of ESD soft failures were characterized for three single-board computers. ESD events were generated following the system-level ESD standard (IEC 61000-4-2), matching real-world testing and events. Soft failures resulting from ESD were seen on all products …
