2016 IEW - ESD Technology Mixed with Bavarian Fun!

The 2016 IEW workshop was held at the Evangelische Akademie in Tutzing, Germany, and we continue to receive comments about its success. The workshop was attended by 87 people, making this one of the most popular locations for the IEW. The conference facilities made the event a wonderful experience, with a circular auditorium for talks that created both a relaxed and open environment for the speakers and attendees. The conference included poster sessions and presentations about several ESD related issues. Discussion Groups were quite popular and attendees actively participated. For this workshop there were several invited talks from industries including medical appliances and automotive. On Monday evening, attendees were entertained with Bavarian tradi- tions such as a particular form of dancing called ‘Schuhplattln’. On Wednesday, there was time for everyone to enjoy some of the local scenery. The IEW workshop is proving to be a popular event containing some valuable technical presentations, posters, tutorials, and discussions, while maintaining a relaxed and informal environment. If you would like to be a part of this rewarding event we invite you to join us next year at the 11th annual IEW workshop from May 7-11, 2017 at the Granlibakken Tahoe, Tahoe City, CA.

Q: Is there a new specification which covers the requirements for the Walking Test for S20.20_2014? A: There is a requirement to determine the voltage on personnel in an electrostatic protected area meeting the requirements of ANSI/ESD S20.20- 2014. The requirement appears in Table 2 - Personnel Grounding Requirement - Footwear/Flooring System. Both a resistance to ground specification according to STM97.1 and peak voltage according to STM97.2 must be met in order to qualify the program, if a footwear/ flooring system is in use for personnel grounding. The ANSI/ESD STM97.2 describes a walking voltage test method that requires measuring the voltage on a person while walking in a defined pattern. Basically, the person walks in the defined pattern for at least 12 step cycles and the average of the 5 peak voltage points used to determine the footwear /floor walking voltage. The average has to be < 100 volts to qualify for a basic S20.20 program. Well designed footwear/flooring systems result in average voltage levels of <10 volts, often as low as a few volts. The response given is a service to industry; the ESD Association is not responsible for content. The users of this information need to determine the suitability of the response.

13 THRESHOLDTM July/Aug 2016 EOS/ESD Symposium for Factory Issues

October 10-11, 2016 EOS/ESD Factory Symposium in Finland-Tutorials Simonkentta Scandic Hotel, Helsinki, Finland October 12-14, 2016 EOS/ESD Factory Symposium in Finland Tallink Ferry (Roundtrip Helsinki - Stockholm) Helsinki, Finland The EOS/ESD Association and STAHA, the Finish ESD Association, are organizing the 2nd European ESD Symposium for Factory Issues on the ferry between Helsinki (Finland) and Stockholm (Sweden). This is the first time that both organizations cooperate to hold a Symposium that is not touching the topics of on-chip protection or device testing problems but solely focusing on protection issues during handling, assembly, testing and transport. Since production people often have difficulties to get long distance travels approved this event is brought to the factories. To make it a European event, other independent ESD associations from Europe are helping to set this event up.

• The ESD Association developed, administers, and maintains the ESD Association Program Manager Professional Certification.

• ESD Association instructors developed the ANSI/ESDA and IEC Standards and bring you today’s current infor- mation and developments.
