TERRY WELSHER

Dr. Terry L. Welsher retired from Lucent Technologies-Bell Laboratories Engineering Research Center in 2001 as the Director of the Quality, Test & Reliability department. He began his career in Bell Labs in 1978 where he worked on electrical conduction mechanisms in insulating polymers and electrolytic corrosion failure mechanisms in electrical interconnection materials. In 1984 he was appointed Distinguished Member of Technical Staff for his work in these fields. In 1986 he was promoted to Technical Manager to re-constitute the Bell Laboratories core expertise in electrostatic discharge (ESD). The newly formed group proceeded to produce a string of ground-breaking contributions to the field and played a key role in advancing industry standards. In 1994, he broadened his group's activities to all aspects of hardware reliability for Lucent Technologies with special emphasis in environmental stress testing (EST) and product reliability prediction and planning. In 1998 he was promoted to Director of the Quality, Test & Reliability Center of Excellence where he directed the development and deployment of product quality, test and reliability assurance practices for Lucent Technologies business units. This work included design for testability of integrated circuits, board and system level test and diagnosis and special techniques for testing of RF and optoelectronic systems and components. Dr. Welsher was

GINGER HANSEL

Ginger Hansel joined Motorola's Semiconductor Products Sector in 1981 as a Test Process/Equipment Engineer to analyze and improve manufacturing operations. She founded and led the manufacturing ESD control team that trained, audited, qualified materials, and established innovative solutions throughout the semiconductor sector. Under her leadership, the team reduced a 40% failure rate in one test operation to almost zero through the targeted introduction of specific ESD control materials and ESD Awareness training. Ginger brought ESD awareness to her other roles as Engineering Section Leader, Technical Training Manager, QA Engineer, Business Metrics Engineer, Data and Document Control Manager, Program Manager and Technical Product Marketing Manager. Ginger retired from Motorola/Freescale in 2004.

She has published numerous magazine articles and technical papers on effective ESD control programs and awareness training; examples include "The Production Operator: Weak Link or Warrior in the ESD Battle" and "Cost Effective Failure Analysis Method for Detecting Failure Site Associated with Extremely Small Leakage".
