| This two-day seminar consists of concentrated versions of the ten ESDA tutorials which comprise the ESDA Program Manager Certification Program:
• ESD Basics for the Program Manager
• Ionization and Answers for the Program Manager
• Packaging Principles for the Program Manager
• System Level ESD/EMI: Testing to IEC and Other Standards
• Cleanroom Considerations for the Program Manager
• How To’s of In-Plant ESD Survey and Evaluation Measurements
• Device Technology and Failure Analysis Overview
• Electrostatic Calculations for the Program Manager and the ESD Engineer
• ESD Standards Overview for the Program Manager
• ESD Program Development & Assessment (ANSI/ESD S20.20 Seminar)
Key concepts and information from the above courses have been selected for this two day seminar. Many of the demonstrations and videos from ESD Basics Tutorial are included in this seminar. Examples of electrostatics and ESD calculations are included where appropriate throughout the seminar.
Part I
This section reviews the fundamentals of electrostatics, charge flow, electric field and voltage. The concept of capacitance and the fundamental relationship, Q = CV, is introduced and explored with demonstrations and videos. The practical application of these concepts to the measurement of resistance, fields and voltages, and the relevant standards are reviewed and demonstrated.
Part II
The principles from Part I are then applied to grounding principles and standards, measurement of charge, standard models for ESD (i.e., human-body model and charged device model), and static induction with demonstrations and videos. Very simple and basic ESD protection circuit concepts and relevant failure analysis techniques are introduced and reviewed.
Part III
Key ESD technical areas are reviewed such as air ionization, ESD-safe packaging, cleanroom principles and electrostatic attraction. Standards relevant to these areas are described.
Part IV
The final section includes charge generation test methods, additional ESDA standards, system-level ESD standards and testing, practical auditing techniques and strategies, and ESD event detection. The tutorial concludes with a review of ESD Protected-Areas (EPAs), ESD Program Management and the application of ANSI/ESD S20.20. |
