 Metal and Poly Damage: Sources   
Humans  Description  Investigate
Mis-orientation of IC Monitor for compliance to correct procedures
Inadvertent application of voltage Check line test history for voltage surges or sustained high current sources
Machine Mis-orientation of IC Determine and monitor assembly process
Inadvertent application of voltage Check for unregulated or faulty power supplies
Environment
Lightning strike, power supply surge/transient Device and application exposure to lightning and/or power supply transients during test or assembly
Latch-up condition Application and test procedures
Manufacturing defects
Metallization or polysilicon thinning Requires die-level investigation, i.e. component failure analysis
