These Articles concern ESD Failures:

Can Charged Boards Cause IC Failure? -1988: by Donald Pierce. "Although many authorities waver, the author answers yes with a theoretical proof."

Analyzing EOS/ESD Failures- 1993: by Owen J. McAteer. "Without failure analysis, it is difficult to tell whether you actually have a static problem."

Induction and ESD Failures- 1991 by: Owen J. McAteer. "The preceding columns on the basics of electrostatics have discussed charge and dielectric constant, triboelectric generation, and conductivity, and resistivity. These topics provide a good foundation from which to proceed into the subject of induction."
