Abstract

This paper reports on an investigation of ESD stresses on a fingerprint module. It shows that sparking to the flex connector, dielectric breakdown of the insulating layers, and transient electric and magnetic fields can cause damage. Test methods and simulation models are shown. An ESD generator and ESD field probe were used to expose the fingerprint module to currents and electromagnetic fields. Breakdown of the top insulating layer was observed. Damage due to ESD induced H-field injection occurred A 1 kŌ resistively grounded ring is proposed as an ESD protection solution for the fingerprint module system. Its effect on the discharge current is shown via simulation.
