ESD Association President;Gianluca Boselli

Dear ESDA Volunteers & Friends of ESDA,In my previous President Letter I explained why EOS/ESD Association, Inc. is “diversifying its portfolio”, by keeping faith to its strategic mission to “being the recognized global leader in serving industry in the control and mitigation of Electrical Overstress and Electrostatics”.In today’s letter, I would like to expand on what the challenges are that “being the recognized global leader” encompasses.When venturing into a new market, EOS/ESD Association, Inc. needs to understand not only the business needs, but, more importantly, the local culture.The first step is to learn where the main manufacturing sites are located in the area of interest. Infrastructures tend to be clustered (i.e. it is unlikely to have a great airport and a poor train system in the same area), so this exercise would significantly limit the area of interests, even in large countries. On the other

hand, it is likely that most manufacturing companies are not known in US, so having a local liaison (i.e. a volunteer) is especially critical in this exercise. Even more critical is the liaison’s role in understanding what the current processes of the manufacturing companies scrutinized are, in order to determine how their needs could match what EOS/ESD Association, Inc. can offer. This is largely a cultural barrier, in that in several countries, companies are not willing to share much information. Also, the preferred ways to receive any content (i.e., tutorial vs hands-on, in person vs remote, English vs local language) are peculiar of each country.Often it is needed to partner with a local organization to deliver a certain content. This is very desirable from a EOS/ESD Association, Inc. perspective, in that the partner has an intimate knowledge of the local market, can bridge language and other cultural barriers, and can provide access to communication channels. However, a solid relationship with the partner must be built beforehand. This is not trivial and it does sometimes require a trial-and-error approach.In terms of the overall country “ESD ecosystem”, other players need to be considered. Academia is one aspect, in that it is critical to know which Universities do have ESD-related contents, and on which venues they do publish their results.

From the President

Challenges of “being the recognized global leader”.

Another critical aspect is building a relationship with the local standardization body. This is easier said than done, in that there may be different standardization bodies, with their own priorities, may conflict with EOS/ESD Association, Inc. goals.In summary, from the short summary above, it is pretty obvious that building an EOS/ESD Association, Inc. presence in another country is a long-term endeavor: it literally takes years of planning and relation-building to truly assess ourselves as a credible global leader. Finally, but not lastly, I want to reiterate that our most critical resource is YOU, the ESDA volunteer, without whom none of the above could be supported.Rest assured that you can send me a message with a suggestion, an opportunity for improvement, or a criticism any time and I will regard it with respect.

EOS/ESD SYMPOSIUM KEYNOTETUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 20179:00 a.m. - 9:45 a.m.

Mars Science Laboratory spacecraft launched in November of 2011 reaching Mars only 9 months later to achieve a spectacular Entry, Descent and Landing (EDL) on August 5th 2012. Since then, the Curiosity rover has driven over 16 kilometers, sampled a few sand dunes and over a dozen rocks by drilling into them. This talk will present an overview of the mission, its objectives, and dis-coveries as well as a few of its challenges along the way.

Alicia Allbaugh was born and raised in Newark, Ohio and was valedictorian at Licking Valley High School (yes that is its real name) in 1984. She attended the Ohio State Uni-versity first at a branch campus in her home town and then on main campus in Columbus with 58,000 classmates. Af-ter earning a BS degree in Engineering Physics in 1988, she accepted a position in Annapolis, Maryland analyz-ing electromagnetic interference in communications for military aircraft and even between the space shuttle and ground control during landing. Simultaneously, she took graduate courses in physics at the Johns Hopkins Uni-versity. An act of congress precipitated her layoff from that position in 1991 at which point she landed a position at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California. She supported the Galileo mission for 8 years as it cruised towards and then orbited Jupiter including the first ever asteroid encounter with a spacecraft, first spacecraft software upgrade in flight (which is now com-

monplace), the first observation of an impact of a comet impact into a planet (by Shoemaker-Levy 9) and sending the first probe into another planet’s atmosphere. She left JPL in 1999 to return to graduate work and earned a Ph. D in physics from the Kansas State University in 2003. She became a visiting assistant professor at the Roches-ter Institute of Technology and taught many engineers in training during her two years there. She was drawn back to California by a proposal of marriage from an fellow en-gineer on Galileo. She accepted and returned to JPL in 2006 in support of the Mars Science Laboratory project. She has been supporting the Curiosity rover in some ca-pacity ever since. Currently, she is the Team Chief of the Integrated Planning and Execution Team which is respon-sible for the coordination of all the activities commanded on the rover every martian day and sometimes supports that commanding as a Mission Lead ensuring the health and safety of the vehicle.

EOS/ESD Symposium

The common theme for the third set of papers in our historical review relates to establishing an ESD control program. From early on in our Symposiums, the costs associated with ESD controls have been related to how much money a properly set-up and managed ESD control program can save. Most consider an ESD control program a necessity today but in the early days there was a need to convince upper management that the time and talent needed to set up the program was worth the investment.

10 attendees gathered at EOS/ESD Association headquarters June 13-14 for the two day FC340: Program Development and Assessment-S20.20 Seminar. All ea-ger to learn practical ESD handling and control practices to ensure that they have ESD practices and processes in place to protect their companies’ products. The attendees represented several professional titles which intend to use the knowledge to improve ESD control in their company. their titles include:

Training coordinator/operations support, Quality control prefessionals, Equipment Technologist, and Process Engineers. The instructor, Dave Swenson, engaged the attendees with numerous demonstra-tions involving ESD testing practices and instrument use. “In depth review of Program develop-ment/audit is very beneficial and does not appear to be covered elsewhere”

Program Development and Assessment-S20.20 Seminar draws a variety of interested professionals.

“Presenters knowledge and experi-ence are tremendously beneficial to the success of this problem. Dave kept it interesting-no naps.”

A great tutorial with some exciting feedback.

Q) Which one is more helpful in reference to auditing the EPAs, the ESD field meter or the ESD voltmeter?

A) The ESD field meter is probably overall more useful for general measure-ments around the EPA. The area of view is what is different between the two types of instruments. Small areas (<150 mm x 150 mm) cannot be measured with good accuracy with the Field Meter. The ESD Voltmeter can measure very small areas with good accuracy.

Q) How to realistically determine “allowed by the user specifications” (surely user is not free to choose his own values, by his will as he has to be within certain limits)?

A) Setting user specifications requires that the “user” have a good idea about the risk levels for any static charge (elec-tric fields) and voltage that are present in close proximity to any unprotected ESD susceptible items. This knowledge of course comes from training and ex-perience. It is hard to set specifications without knowing something about the process and risk to parts. In order for a facility to become certified to ANSI/ESD S20.20, any user set specifications have to be justified according to the risks. For instance, if you have 100 volt HBM devices, you would not set an ionizer imbalance at +/-150 volts.

Q&A

Q) Within the document where one can see text: “an integrated checker or a me-ter” Is there a specific integrated checker that is best? Does the meter mean the lab digital AVO meter?

A) Integrated checkers are often used for wrist strap and footwear measurements. These are testers that are specifically de-signed for some special purpose. A meter could be the digital AVO meter as long as the output voltage and current meet the requirements of the test method. For almost all of the measurements in the ESDA test methods, the meter has to have 10 volts and 100 volts for the resis-tance measurements. (Granted there are a few exceptions)

ESD TR53-01-15 EOS/ESD Association Technical Report for the Protection of Electrostatic Discharge Susceptible Items – Compliance Verification of ESD Protective Equipment and MaterialsThe purpose of this technical report is to provide compliance verification test procedures and troubleshooting guidance for ESD protective equipment and materials. Test results may be used for the Compliance Verification Plan Requirements of ANSI/ESD S20.20 or those of the user if more restrictive.

Q) Could I rely on the high resistance RLC meter (I possess like DMR 3600 which is an RLC meter with 4 G Ohm maximum measurement capability) to perform audit measurements like foot ware or wrist strap testing (where 35 M ohm is maximum requirement) along with the metal electrodes (for example figure 4: Wrist strap test using meter)...?

A) Measurements greater than 1 meg-ohm require a meter with voltage output of 100 volts. Under 1 megohm, 10 volts is required. If your meter has those val-ues then it should be OK. For wrist strap measurements, the output voltage is one of the special situations where you would not apply 100 volts to a person unless the voltage is current limited – that is why 10 volts is used, even though the measure-ment may exceed 1 megohm.

system which paved the way for the StaticStop line of industry-leading ESD flooring products.With this product, he was flung headlong into the ESD industry and joined the EOS/ESD Association in 2013 to become more involved in the industry and better understand the full needs of his customers. He is now the chair of WG 7 and a member of WG19, WG97, and the Marketing Communications committees. “While I have a strong engineering background with degrees in chemical engineering, my knowledge of electronics and ESD was certainly limited. Being involved in the EOS/ESD Association, through the committees, the available training information, and generous support from other members, I’ve learned a vast amount about ESD and its control. I particularly enjoy networking with the other members, working with them on the committees, and having

a little fun during the free time.” Tom is married to Linda and has three sons, Andrew (22), Clark (20), and James (18). Tom enjoys playing hockey in his Friday morning hockey group, and most anything outdoors, particularly, hiking, biking, skiing, running, and kayaking. Living in the Boston area with its strong sports culture, he also loves watching the Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics, and Bruins.

July/August 2017

May 14-18, 2018 at Priory Corsendonk, Oud Turnhout, Belgiumhttps://www.esda.org/index.php/events/iew/

2018 International Electrostatic Discharge WorkshopLocated among century-old forests, the historic Priory Corsendonk provides a picturesque setting with a relaxed and invigorating atmosphere to engage in discussions about the latest issues confronting the ESD and EOS communities. The workshop will include invited seminar speakers, discussion groups, invited talk speakers, technical presentation

IEW12th Annual International Electrostatic Discharge Workshop

Call For Presentations

sessions, and special interest groups. The IEW is the perfect opportunity to submit late-breaking and exciting new research to stimulate discussion and interaction around new ideas, encouraging new research topics. To maintain the unique IEW experience and provide ample opportunity for discussion, there will be an increased focus on discussion groups and invited speakers in 2018. The IEW

workshop presentation format for technical sessions will begin with each author presenting a brief summary to highlight key findings, followed by an interactive poster-based discussion session among authors and attendees. The IEW is closely aligned with the EOS/ESD Symposium for collaborative conference activities.

WearablesWith wearables a new class of mobile devices, such as smart watches, health tracking bracelets, and virtual reality glasses, has emerged recently and will expand strongly in coming years. These battery-operated devices can be characterized by having a high content of advanced electronics in a very small form factor. The combination of sensitive low-power electronics, tiny module sizes and frequent exposure to ESD events in the daily use environment bears challenges for the ESD protection of such devices. Submit your abstract covering the ESD challenges of wearables and discuss your and your peer’s experiences during the IEW workshop.

Automotive Applications ESD/EMCThe electronic content of automobiles is increasing, leading to more complex electronic modules and system design. Integration of ICs and discrete devices is demanding, considering the module level EMC testing and reliability requirements. The IEW invites contributions that address ESD and EMC challenges in automotive systems design, including complying with standards such as bulk current injection (BCI), direct power injection (DPI), IEC-61000-4-2, ISO-10605, and ISO-7637.

Abstract Submission Deadline October 2, 2017

Electrical Overstress (EOS)EOS continues to be one of the single EOS continues to be one of the largest causes of customer returns in the semiconductor industry. Have you recently completed root-cause analysis on a failure with an electrical induced physical damage (EIPD) signature? There is not a defined procedure to determine absolute maximum ratings (AMR) for a product. Do you have a methodology for defining AMR for a product, and verifying it for different timescales? Are you an FA engineer with experience on case studies identifying EOS damage mechanisms and the ensuing physical evidence? Finding sources of EOS can be a challenge. Do you have experience auditing a manufacturing site for sources of EOS? Bring your work to the IEW and share it with your colleagues.

EDA for Latch-up ToolsEDA tools for ESD and latch-up verification have significantly matured in the past few years. The ESD Association’s EDA working group continues working on the subject. While initially the focus was primarily on ESD it now includes latch-up. A technical report is planned for release prior to IEW 2018 to begin discussions. We invite you to submit posters presenting your ideas and experiences for Latch-up tools.

Other topics and areas to consider for abstract submissions include:

Anomalous/Unresolved ESD IssuesRandom and unrepeatable ESD failures, case histories, ESD tester correlation issues, or unique window failures.

System-Level ESD/EOS IssuesOn- and off- chip IEC protection clamps, component/system ESD co-design case studies, cable discharge clamps, transient latch-up, design of system-level clamp circuits, system level ESD test issues and scan techniques, and ESD-induced soft errors.

Failure Analysis TechniquesLocating failure sites, in particular for CDM, imaging techniques, correlating FA identified damage site with ESD stress, distinguishing EOS-like failures from ESD failures, and unusual failure modes.Technology Integration IssuesESD sensitivity with technology transfers, 3D IC ESD design issues, qualification challenges for different fabs, unusual problems of process interaction with ESD, process monitor methods, and technology scaling issues.
