“ESD
Fundamentals and Hardware Safety”
Andrew
Kopanski – MIT Lincoln Laboratory
This tutorial will cover the fundamentals of
electrostatic discharge prevention along with a high level overview
of ANSI/ESD S20.20 compliance. Topics will include grounding,
ionization, triboelectric and inductive charging, dissipative
materials, human body, charge device model, cable discharges, device
characterization, auditing, and control plan development. For each of
these concepts, live demonstrations will be shown along with
mitigation methods to enable safe handling.

10:00 am – 11:30
am EDT
“Qualifying
ESD Safe Tools and Materials”
Andrew
Kopanski – MIT Lincoln Laboratory
Choosing ESD safe
equipment can be a challenge, both for compliance with ANSI/ESD
S20.20 and for specific applications that provide additional
electrical or mechanical requirements. Making the choice more
difficult is the lack of certification bodies to approve tools and
dedicated standards prescribing test methods for verification.
This course gives an
overview of common items used in ESD work areas and provides guidance
in validating each of these items for ESD compliance, both to the
extent that standards cover and beyond. Challenges may be present in
unexpected insulators, charging, coatings, voltage leakage, and more.
This course will cover powered and unpowered hand tools, workbench
equipment including constant monitors, and 3D printing of ESD compatible
plastics.

"
Electrostatic
attraction” (remote session)
Arnie
Steinman – Dangelmayer Associates
Cleanroom Particle Control
(ESA)
Modern products are
increasing in complexity and more are requiring cleanrooms for some
part of their production. Many production problems in semiconductors,
disk drives, flat panel displays, and medical and optical devices can
be avoided by controlling static charge to reduce electrostatic
attraction and bonding of particulate (ESA and ESB).
Cleanliness and chemical
process requirements in the cleanroom make extensive use of
insulating materials such as glass, Teflon, Kapton and other
plastics. Personnel are enclosed in cleanroom garments, booties, and
gloves, also made of insulating materials. The products themselves make
extensive use of specialized insulating materials. This variety of
dissimilar materials, coupled with low humidity conditions in
cleanrooms, assures that high levels of static charge will be
generated. This presentation will look at the basic nature of the
cleanroom, the issues affecting particle deposition, and the effects
of static charge on particle contamination.
Methods exist for
preventing charge generation and dissipating static charge, but the
need for contamination control makes some of these methods difficult
or impossible to use in cleanrooms.This
presentation will look at the issues involved in creating a static
control program that reduces electrostatic attraction in the
cleanroom. It will cover the
usage and limitations of common static control methods in cleanroom
work areas, including case studies involving static-related particle
deposition. Finally, this presentation will provide some guidelines
for choosing personnel grounding, static dissipative materials, and
ionization for use in a cleanroom static control program, based on
available industry standards.
August 5
3:00 pm – 4:00
pm EDT
“Panel
Discussion”
Andrew
Kopanski – MIT Lincoln Lab, Randy Bird – BAE, Ted Dangelmayer and
members of the Dangelmayer Team
As ESD professionals we
often have questions on how to implement and improve our ESD
programs. These questions can range from compliance program
implementation, qualifying tools and materials, ESD auditing, record
keeping, what testing equipment to use and many more. This panel
discussion will present an opportunity to engage with experienced
industry professionals to ask any questions on any ESD related topics
you might have. The panel members bring decades of industry
experience to this panel.
August 6
8:00 am – 12:00
pm EDT
“Workstations”
Ginger
Hansel and Ted Dangelmayer – Dangelmayer Associates
The complexity
of properly installing workstations is often underestimated. On the
‘surface’, it appears to be a simple installation of an ESD static
dissipative mat or ESD hard laminate. However, there are important
issues learned from years of experience that impact cost, durability,
ESD performance, maintenance, and compliance verification. A good ESD
control workstation is the cornerstone of ESD program management
(EPM). Workstations used in processing ESD susceptible items are
intended to maintain a near-zero potential by providing ground paths
for basic components of the workstation and a connection point for
personnel grounding apparatus. The workstation should protect against
charged device model (CDM) ESD and human body model (HBM). This
practical tutorial will teach you how to set-up an effective
ESD-controlled workstation that accomplishes these goals. It will
cover the selection and qualification of the required materials and
how to install these correctly. Other workstation issues will be
discussed, including the application of ionization, garment
grounding, ESD chairs, handling containers, tools, and compliance
verification consistent with ESD TR53.
Learning Outcomes
Attendees will be able to:
–
Set-up an effective ESD-controlled workstation that will provide
ground paths for mats, people, fixtures, trays, and sensitive
components.
– Avoid costly mistakes when selecting and installing
the components of the workstation.
– Implement compliance verification testing and
troubleshoot measurement challenges
– Identify real world problems in photos and examples
gathered during years of auditing

“Hands
on ESD Measurements & Instruments – Uses and Pitfalls”
Ginger
Hansel and Ted Dangelmayer – Dangelmayer Associates
Abstract
Accurate data
is the foundation of effective ESD program management. This hands-on
tutorial will explain and demonstrate the proper use of ESD test
equipment such as static locators, resistance meters, charge plate
monitors, and event detectors. We will examine the pitfalls of using
these common instruments that can result in an incorrect
representation of the ESD risk. For example, static locators can give
misleading readings if the effects of voltage suppression are not
taken into account. We will also discuss the effective use of
ionization since ionizers that are not measured, maintained, and
located correctly may contribute ESD hazards to the work area. Each
student will participate in class exercises to perform these tests.
The hands-on experience is the best way to understand the seriousness
of the pitfalls and the benefits of taking the proper precautions.
What you learn will help you avoid frequent auditing problems and
improve your compliance verification program.
Learning
