OL9105 ESD Problem Solving
Instructor: John Kinnear, IBM

Its Friday at 3:00 and your quality manager calls you, "We are having ESD failures". Now what do you do? Go out and audit your line? This online course will outline the steps that you should take to examine your process before you audit your line or even leave your office. A systematic approach will be explained on the logical steps to take for ESD troubleshooting. Only after such an analysis should you go on the line for measurements or assessments.

OL9106 Ultra-Sensitivity Trends and CDM
Instructor: Ted Dangelmayer, Dangelmayer Associates

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.

OL9111 CBE and CDE: ESD Failures That Look Like EOS
Instructors: Terry Welsher, Dangelmayer Associates, L.L.C.
Leo G. Henry, ESD TLP Consultants, LLC

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. Similar descriptions and analysis will be made for Cable Discharge Events (CDE) which can also produce EOS-like failures.. 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.

Ionization Issues and Answers for the Program Manager PT1
Instructors: Arnold Steinman

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. It does this by charging the molecules of the gases in the surrounding air. Whatever charge is present on objects in the work area, it will be neutralized by attracting opposite polarity charges from the air. This webinar will present the information needed to use ionizers to solve problems caused by static charge. It is a basic course on ionizers, providing an introduction to their use, as well as advanced application information.
PART 1: The webinar 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. Reviewing these basic principles will lead to an understanding of why ionizers must be included in a static control program. We will define what we mean by "air ions" and how they work. Then we will discuss the various methods for producing air ions.

Taking all three parts of this online Ionization class will fill the requirement for the full length calculations tutorial that is part of the ESDA Program Manager Certification curriculum.

Cleanroom Considerations for the Program Manager PT1
Instructors: Christopher Long

Many industries require "Clean Manufacturing", however with clean manufacturing also come requirements for lowered humidity levels, process-required insulators, ultra-clean surfaces, processes which involve product movement, and a lack of naturally occurring ions. All of these can pose challenges from an electrostatic generation and discharge perspective. It is critical for those who work in industries that require clean manufacturing to know how to control static charge generation in and around contamination and ESD sensitive products. The purpose of class is to provide background on cleanroom/clean environment fundamentals, means of control and measurement of such environments, and methods for controlling/eliminating electrostatic discharge in clean manufacturing processes.

Segment one will cover basic cleanroom/clean environment function and implementations as well as current airborne particle classification standards and their use.

Taking all three parts of this online Cleanrooms class will fill the requirement for the full length calculations tutorial that is part of the ESDA Program Manager Certification curriculum.
