ESDA North Central Chapter Celebrates 20 Years


In April of 1987 six people got together to discuss what it would take to start a local chapter of the ESD Association. The group, located in Minnesota, developed the foundation for what would be the North Central Chapter. On September 10th, the chapter will celebrate 20 years of existence. although meeting attendance has stayed steady at between 25 to 40 people. Weight attributes the policies set early on for the lasting success of the chapter. They include: 1. Only four scheduled meetings per year. 2. Meetings are to be held at chapter member locations, with the chapter member being the host for the day. (The chapter funds sandwiches and beverages for the meeting.) 3. The meeting formats are focused on the science of ESD control. 4. Dinner meetings are limited to once a year as a membership drive. (Free dinner for members!) 5. Having a very strong and dedicated core of people who are interested in keeping a focus on the mission of educating people in the science of ESD control.

It was interesting that out of the six of us, most of us were strangers to each other even though we all worked in the electronics industry locally, said Merle Weight, one of the original six. The only thing we had in common was that we were working in the discipline of trying to control the effects of ESD. Early on the Chapter participated in a regional trade show by providing a technical session The original six included, Gary Johnson and manning a booth on the exhibit floor.

Q & A Column
Technical inquiries received at ESDA headquarters are directed to info@esda.org. If you would like to submit a technical question to be presented in the newsletter, please send an email to info@esda.org and type Q & A Column in the subject line. Question: I am hoping that someone can answer this question for me; is there any type of ESD trainers certification available to teach the fundamentals to our ESD Coordinator? Also, could you tell me please, when wearing an ESD smock that has long sleeves with snaps at the end, if a person is wearing a or short-sleeved shirt, can they push the ESD smock sleeve up or roll it up a bit to be comfortable, or should it remain down and snapped? I know that there are smocks available with and short sleeves so I ask with this in mind wondering if as long as the clothing underneath is not exposed at all, could the ESD smock sleeve be rolled or pushed up? Answer: We offer what we call ESD Program Manager Certification. This is a 10tutorial set that people complete (generally takes two years) followed by an eight-hour written exam. We have offered the test for two years now*. There are a total of 13 Certified ESD Program Managers out there now (out of a group of about 25 or so that attempted the test). Please review the ESD Program Manager information on our website at www.esda.org and click on Certification. If you are interested in getting some training done quickly to get a person started, perhaps one of the consulting companies shown in our Buyers Guide on the website could offer a custom package for you. There are several that do this all the time. Generally, companies that use smocks in their ESD Control Program allow the sleeves to be rolled up as long as the street clothing is not exposed. I have seen this written into many ESD Control Program Plans. *Please note that ESD Association will offer the ESD Professional Certified Program Manager exam at the EOS/ESD Symposium in Anaheim, California, on September 21, 2007. Contact headquarters at 315339-6937 or info@esda.org to register or for more information.p

2008 IEW Call for Papers


The 2008 International ESD Workshop (IEW) takes place in Port d-Albret, France, May 12-15, 2008, and will focus on robust design strategies and ESD/EOS testing of state-of-the-art integrated circuits, advanced semiconductor system on chip (SOC) and system in package (SIP) applications. For this second annual workshop, device immunity issues originating from electromagnetic interferences (EMI), a great challenge of complex electronic systems, are included as an additional topic for discussion. Further, IEW also welcomes papers on ESD issues encountered in MEMS devices, which are now rapidly entering electronic applications as wide ranging as automotive, medical and consumer systems. Through the technical presentations solicited here, as well as invited seminars, un-refereed poster sessions, discussion groups and special interest groups, a unique and informal environment is provided for understanding and sharing ESD technology. All workshop activities will take place in a relaxed setting that promotes an atmosphere of interactive learning and helpful discussions. The International ESD Workshop is closely aligned with the EOS/ESD Symposium for collaborative conference activities. The second IEW offers the unique chance to exchange ESD related know-how on an international level in Europe. This compliments the established biannual European conferences on ESD like EOA/ESD/EMI Workshop in France and ESD Forum in Germany.

January 7, 2008. Final presentations for the workshop in PowerPoint format must be received by April 14, 2008. These PowerPoint slides will be included in the Presentation Handout along with a CDROM that will be distributed during the Workshop. There will be no formal report published. Due to an agreed alignment through the ESD Association, presentation of your work at the IEW will not preclude a subsequent, but more detailed submission, to the EOS/ ESD Symposium. For any questions please contact the Technical Program Chair, Horst Gieser (Horst.Gieser@izm-m.fhg.de).

ESD Association offers ESD Facility Certification


The ESD Association Facility Certification Program evaluates a facilitys ESD program based on industry standard ANSI/ESD S20.20, which was updated in 2007. Facilities that choose to become certified during 2007 will use the ANSI/ESD S20.20-1999 standard as the basis for their certification. In 2008, companies will have the choice to become certified to the 1999 or 2007 version. In 2009 and beyond, facility certifications will be based on the ANSI/ESD S20.20-2007 version only. Both versions of this standard will be available for download at www.esda.org until the end of 2008. The Audit The ESD certification audit focuses on all the key elements of a good ESD program: Documentation, Training, Calibration, ESD Control Element Selection 7 Function, Purchasing (ESD-related contracts), Non-conforming product, and documentation control. Typically, audits take up to two days. The ESD Associations certification program is based on one facility or several buildings in nearby proximity that are a part of the same line of business with a common management. Multiple locations require additional audits. Facilities must undergo the complete audit annually to be recertified. Registrars The audit is conducted by an ESD Association certified registrar. Each certified registrar employs staff that has been trained and certified by the ESD Association. A list of certified registrars is maintained at www.esda.org. The ESD Association will continue to add new registrars as they are certified. If your companys registrar is not certified with the ESD Association, please have the registrar contact the Association for materials and information about becoming certified.

ESD On Campus
ESD R&D Goes Beyond Lightning in Florida
University of Central Florida (UCF a.k.a. Under Construction Forever)
By Steven Voldman, Ph.D., ESDA Board of Directors, ESD On Campus Program Manager, IEEE Fellow Yes, ESD engineers know that Florida is famous for ESD lightning research but did we know that ESD semiconductor research is a field of interest in Orlando? In the Spring of 2007, the University of Central Florida (UCF) served as a host for the ESD on Campus talk. Professor J.J. Liou of UCF, who is also affiliated with Zheijang University, served as the host faculty member. Today, University of Central Florida is one of the fastest growing campuses in the United States. Fueled by the growth in the Florida tourist industry and local Floridians, engineering and research buildings are opening today with new offices, labs and courtyards. With the boulevards, and palm trees visibly being added to the campus plan, the UCF students nicknamed the university UCF a.k.a. Under Construction Forever.
