C2 MOS capacitor ESD damage
Here are two images showing ESD damage to a C2 MOS capacitor.
What appears to be a slight pinhole on the top image
shows to be substantial damage to the trace when examined
at 4300X. .
This
damage could have been prevented had the appropriate
ESD safe-guards been in place.
Reference :
NASA-STD-8739.7 paragraph
7.2

3. ESD-Protective Work Surfaces - All work surfaces
in an ESD-protected area shall be static dissipative
and electrically connected to the common point ground.
5. Personnel Grounding Devices - Personnel Grounding
Devices shall be supplied to all personnel working with
or handling ESDS items to prevent the accumulation of
dangerous electrostatic charge levels.
