The electrostatic issue, classic yet new, has become obvious along with the progress in more

integrated designing of semiconductor device in a large area from large scale integration (LSI)

designing and manufacturing to application, and is now taken measure of. The electrostatic issue

is considered to be such a significant issue that books on it are still being published.
