FC100: ESD Basics for the Program Manager

JUNE 15, 2020 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM

Ron Gibson, Advanced Static Control Consulting

This tutorial provides the foundation material for understanding electrostatics and ESD and their role in the manufacturing and handling of ESD sensitive devices. The fundamental properties of charge, electric fields, voltage, capacitance, and current are discussed with a view towards understanding key electrostatic phenomena and electrical processes. These include charge generation and decay, material properties, and induction. An overview of device failure mechanisms is presented, including how these models impact ESD control programs. Finally, the course provides an overview of ESD control procedures during handling and manufacturing and an overview of ANSI/ESD S20.20 program requirements. This full day course is required for those in-plant auditors and program managers who are working toward professional ESD certification. The presentation includes many in-class demonstrations, videos, and animated slides.

Some sample topics covered in this course are:

• Definitions and relationships among important electrical and mechanical properties

• Causes of charge generation and decay

• Field effects and voltages

• Role of capacitance in ESD (Q=CV)

• Overview of key measurements including common pitfalls of some measurements

• Review of ESD failure models

• Understanding and demonstrating electrostatic induction

• Utility and limitations of air ionization

• Basic goals of ESD controls

• Properties of effective ESD control products and materials

• Overview of ANSI/ESD S20.20 ESD program development requirements

FC101: How To’s of In-Plant ESD Auditing and Evaluation                     Measurements
JUNE 16, 2020 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM
Ron Gibson, Advanced Static Control Consulting

This program reviews the evaluation and periodic verification (audit) measurement procedures for the technical requirements specified in the ANSI/ESD S20.20 ESD program development standard. Detailed explanation of instruments, fixtures, and accessories function and usage are provided. Then, the details of “How to” measure are explained and demonstrated. Measurements include those listed in Table 1: Grounding/Equipotential Bonding Requirements; Table 2: Personnel Grounding Requirements; and Table 3: EPA/ESD Control Items. These recommended measurement procedures confirm the proper operation and use of ESD control products and materials selected as part of a facility’s S20.20 ESD control program.

Some sample topics covered in this course are:

ANSI/ESD S20.20 Technical Control Requirements
Program Manager’s Approach to Instrumentation and Applications
Testing Ground Circuits and Assessing Connections
Essential Resistance Measurement Procedures and Concerns
Electrostatic Field and Voltage Measurements
Personnel Grounding Considerations vs. ESD Control Points
Product Installation Baseline Measurements
Evaluation, Acceptance, and Audit Procedures for: Ground Systems, Floors,                Worksurfaces, Equipment, Personnel Grounding, Garments, Materials, Production        Aids, Packaging, and Ionization Devices
Electrostatic Analysis Measurements including Worksurface Suppression,          Footwear/Flooring, and Ionization Decay
