Location: Teradyne Conference Center, North Reading, MA

Instructors: Terry Welsher, Dangelmayer Associates, L.L.C.

More Info: go to ESD Association’s website

More Info: Electrical overstress (EOS) is a major cause of device failure in manufacturing and in the field. Despite this there is relatively little information on the sources of EOS and on prevention practices, particularly for the factory. In this tutorial, the fundamentals of device overstress are reviewed. Relationships among device EOS stressing models are discussed. The causes of EOS and EOS-like events in manufacturing are described and categorized by source and by stress-type. Case histories, including failure analysis and root cause determination, are presented and the few relevant industry specifications are reviewed. An outline for an "EOS control" program similar to ESD control is presented.

The primary method of static charge control is direct connection to ground for conductors, static dissipative materials, and personnel. But a complete static control program must also deal with isolated conductors, insulating materials, and moving objects that cannot be grounded. Air ionization can neutralize the charge on insulated and isolated objects. This seminar will present the information needed to use ionizers to solve problems caused by static charge. It will first examine the problems caused by static charges in a variety of workplaces, and then review the common methods by which static charges are generated and controlled. Demonstrations will be done to illustrate basic principles, leading to an understanding of why ionizers must be included in a static control program. The major types of ionizers and their use environments will be explained. Electrical and performance test methods will be discussed in detail. Ionization measurements using the Ionization Standard will be demonstrated. Installation, safety, maintenance, and contamination issues will be presented. Finally, a number of case histories will be analyzed illustrating the use of ionizers in a variety of work environments.

Ionization and Answers for the Program manager

The primary method of static charge control is direct connection to ground for conductors, static dissipative materials, and personnel. But a complete static control program must also deal with isolated conductors, insulating materials, and moving personnel that cannot be grounded. Air ionization can neutralize the charge on insulated and isolated objects.

This seminar will
· Examine problems caused by static charge
· Review common methods for generation and control of static charge
· Establish the importance of ionizers in a static control program through demonstrations
· Illustrate charge generation and control through demonstrations
· Explain the major types of ionizers and the varying environments in which they are used
· Discuss electrical and performance test methods
· Demonstrate ionization measurements using the Ionization Standard
· Present installation, safety, maintenance, and contamination issues
· Analyze case histories of the use of ionizers in a variety of work environments

Stay Educated! Stay Current!
Ultra-Sensitivity Trends and CDM Online Training

The electronics industry faces a double challenge: increasing use of ultra sensitive devices and lack of experience with the Charge Device Model (CDM). This class will give you the background to understand the challenges and prepare to meet them. Case studies will illustrate how CDM failures can persist even with a robust HBM program in place. A series of photographs of common CDM issues in manufacturing will enable students to visualize how to implement CDM controls. A brief summary of the work by the Industry Council on ESD Target Levels will be included.

It is no longer business as usual and it could take up to two years to prepare (example - equipment retooling etc.). Join us for this highly interactive tutorial and learn why these challenges are inevitable and how to prepare for them.

Get the answers to your questions as well as these examples. Are you skeptical about this news of the trend toward the extensive use of ultrasensitive components? Is it really happening? Is it likely to be a problem in your factory? How big a problem is CDM in manufacturing? What is different about CDM controls?

ESD Webinar - ANSI S20.20 Strengths and Limitations

ANSI S20.20 - 2007 is the best ESD standard available for manufacturing handling practices. It is becoming widely recognized within the electronics industry, defense manufacturing and the FDA, and many sites have been certified. This success speaks well of the many strengths of S20.20. As with any standard, however, there is an intended application and scope that limits the applicability. For instance, ESD Class 0 has unique and complex requirements that require significant customization of the requirements of S20.20.

Join us for this highly interactive Webinar and learn not only about the strengths but also how to customize S20.20 to address current technological ESD challenges such as Class 0, CDM and Charged Board Events (CBE).

The Webinar format offers VoIP and phone line connections. You will be able to talk directly with our team of experts and see our cursor pointing to discussion topics and photos in the slides.

Charged-Board Events: Part Of An Increasingly Complex ESD Testing Landscape

Abstract

It has long been known that ICs and other ESD-sensitive components remain at risk when they are mounted onto printed-circuit boards and other assemblies.  However, most ESD testing and characterization of these components has been done on stand-alone parts.  Further, IC failure analysis data, which is based on knowledge of failure signatures seen in standard HBM and CDM tests, has caused many to conclude that ESD failures are relatively rare when compared to other electrical failures commonly classified as electrical overstress (EOS).  Recent data and experience reported by several companies and laboratories now suggest that many failures previously classified as EOS may instead be the result of ESD failures due to Charged Board Events (CBE).   A charged board stores much more energy than a device (IC) because its capacitance is many times larger.  In fact, the charge (energy) transferred in the event is so large that it can cause EOS-like failures to the components on the board.  In this seminar, this board-level ESD event will be compared with the component level CDM ESD event.   The waveforms from both ESD events will be compared and it will be shown that for the same voltage, the current in the board-level ESD event will be much higher than that from the chip-level ESD event.  A summary of literature and industry data will be given.  It is suggested that failure analysts give stronger consideration to these types of board-level events before assigning an  EOS diagnosis to the failure.  This will support more effective root cause analysis and prevention of these failures.     CBE is one of several new  ESD testing directions that are not adequately covered by the standard HBM and CDM tests.   This broader landscape will be reviewed and the status of the different directions will be described and challenges resulting from the technology road maps will be discussed.

Charged Board Events: A Growing Industry Concern

It has long been known that ICs and other ESD–sensitive components remain at risk when they are mounted onto printed–circuit boards and other assemblies. However, most ESD testing and characterization of these components has been done on stand–alone parts. Further, IC failure analysis data, which is based on knowledge of failure signatures seen in standard HBM and CDM tests, has caused many to conclude that ESD failures are relatively rare when compared to other electrical failures commonly classified as electrical overstress (EOS). Recent data and experience reported by several companies and laboratories now suggest that many failures previously classified as EOS may instead be the result of ESD failures due to Charged Board Events (CBE). A charged board stores much more energy than a device (IC) because its capacitance is many times larger. In fact, the charge (energy) transferred in the event is so large that it can cause EOS–like failures to the components on the board. In this seminar, this board–level ESD event will be compared with the component level CDM ESD event. The waveforms from both ESD events will be compared and it will be shown that for the same voltage, the current in the board–level ESD event will be much higher than that from the chip–level ESD event. A summary of literature and industry data will be given. It is suggested that failure analysts give stronger consideration to these types of board level events before assigning an EOS diagnosis to the failure. This will support more effective root cause analysis and prevention of these failures.
