Esd Awareness & Internal Audit Preparation
Electrostatic discharge-related failures continue to cost electronics manufacturers many millions of dollars every year. The cost of the damaged wafer, die, component, or assembly might be only a few cents or could reach thousands of dollars. When failure happens in the field, multiply the cost by ten. ESD can impact production yields, product quality, reliability in the field, and customer satisfaction, all of these will affect your profitability.
Current industry standards including ANSI/ESDA S20.20 all for effective ESD control program that includes initial and recurrent ESD awareness training for all personnel who might come into contact
with ESD sensitive items, and for the maintenance of complete training records.
1. Understand ESD impact in the electronics environment
2. Determine EOS / ESD problems
3. Establish & implement techniques to measure and audit your plant and ESD Control Plan
4. Establish, implement and verify an ESD control plan as per IEC 61340-5-1 or ANSI/ESD S20.20 2021
Managers, Engineers, Technicians, Supervisors overall any personnel handling ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) sensitive items. Relevant for Semiconductor, PCB Assembly, Diskdrive, Wafer Fabrication, Fiber Optics and other Electronics manufacturing industries.
Fundamental workshop will give an insight of tribo-electric charging, failure mechanism & establish need of ESD control plan. Measurement & Audit techniques for qualification vs. compliance verification with in manufacturing plant will be elaborated.
Electrostatic Calculation & ESDA Standard Review are critical preparatory workshops leading to iNARTE ESD Control certifications. Fundamental electrical characteristics will be studied and computed. Standards and Standard Test Methods will be introduced in details.
Hands-on tutorials: Measurements and compliance verifications in EPAs
1. Resistance measurements
2. Measurements of charging
3. Personnel grounding Touring the facility or process from end to end
4. Performing detailed evaluation of all ESD related elements within the facility, or related to the process
