Course Description
Learn how to prepare for the inevitable trend toward ultra-sensitive components (Class 0) that is sweeping the electronics industry and the wide spread lack of understanding about CDM (Charged Device Model) that is making it more difficult. 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 can take up to two years to prepare (example - equipment retooling etc.). Are you skeptical about this news of a Class 0 trend? Is it really happening this time? Is it likely to be a problem in your factory? How big a problem is CDM in manufacturing? What is different about CDM controls? Join us for this highly interactive tutorial and get the answers to your questions.

How can we change the current way of working to include statistics of ESD events and product failure? HBM and CDM ESD thresholds have been useful as “figures of merit” to drive improvements in protection circuits. However, the relationship of these thresholds to actual quality or reliability risks is not well-understood. Many users believe that the risk of failure rises dramatically when the threshold falls even a small amount below the usual threshold requirements. This discussion group will explore better ways of communicating the risk of failure to users, better measures of ESD robustness than the simple threshold value and whether it is possible to characterize an ESD manufacturing process based on measurements (auditing).

Join us for this interactive joint webinar and learn how to effectively deal with measuring ESD in automated equipment.

The ESD analysis of automation equipment is complex, not well understood and often not done correctly. The escalating use of Class 0 (ultra-sensitive) devices and high failure rates has made this analysis critically important. During this webinar you will learn about today's advanced test equipment, how to more readily identify sources of ESD damage and how to rectify or prevent ESD damage including Class 0.

This webinar will be highly interactive with in-plant photographs and compelling Class 0 case studies. The photographs illustrate the details of appropriate measurements and how to avoid the numerous pitfalls. Students will be encouraged to ask questions and able to participate verbally in the discussions.

You will learn how to make valid measurements, avoid common pitfalls and how to use this data to successfully handle Class 0 sensitivities in highly automated equipment.

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.

Instructors: Ted Dangelmayer, Dangelmayer Associates, L.L.C.

More Info: go to ESD Association’s website

More Info: Come join us for this highly interactive hands-on workshop on the proper use of ESD test equipment. Pitfalls of common instruments will be explained as well as the invalid test results that can result. For instance, static locators can yield totally invalid readings when used incorrectly due to voltage suppression. Demonstrations will be used to illustrate both the pitfalls and correct measurement techniques for instruments such as static locators, ionizers, EMI/ESD Event Detectors, and Resistance meters. Find out if static locators can be used accurately to test automation equipment, conveyor belts, document carriers with paper inside, ionizers or rapidly moving operations? Each student will participate in Class exercises to perform these tests and to experience the benefits of correct test methods as well as the incorrect results created by the pitfalls. Approximately half of this workshop will be devoted to these hands-on class exercises.

More Info: While most companies are acutely aware of the hazards of ESD (electrostatic discharge), few are aware of just how pervasive ESD failures actually are. Recent studies into the misdiagnosis of these failures suggest that ESD damage may, in fact, be the dominant failure mechanism on the factory floor and in the field. This includes all sources of device failure such as EOS, ESD, Contamination, Charged Board Event, Cable Discharge Event, device fabrication etc. You will also learn which are the dominate ESD failure mechanisms among CDM, HBM and MM. Attend this highly interactive tutorial and learn the latest facts about ESD damage and about current best practices for ESD damage prevention.

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.
