This is not HBM-ESD. Extensive damage on thistransistor where the bond has melted is typical ofsurges from Inductors, Transformers, and Motors.

Arcing of this nature within an integrated circuit is typical oftesting damage. Human Body Model ESD does not create
sufficient damage to be seen in an optical microscope.

Higher magnification photo of pin noted by the arrow in the priorslide This taken at 400 times magnification on a 4" X 5" photo.
The damage is noted as the "fuzz" at the end of the arrow.

Techniques used to locate HBM-ESD damage in an integrated circuit.Clockwise from the upper left optical photo at 400X shows no damage.
The upper right hand scanning electron micrograph (SEM) shows nodamage. The lower right hand image is the current flow in the device
which shows asubsurface arcbetween the twometal lines. Thelower left photo is
a combination ofthe SEM imageand the currentflow image.
