ROME, NY – The EOS/ESD Association has announced the release of its Technology Roadmap, which presents estimated threshold changes in electrostatic discharge (ESD) and the potential impact on ESD control practices through 2030.

In an effort to keep abreast of the evolving electronics industry, the document is updated annually by EOS/ESD Association.

The first section of the roadmap provides estimates of future electrostatic discharge (ESD) thresholds of semiconductor devices and the potential impact on ESD Control practices. These levels are strongly technology and design-dependent and need to be periodically revised in the context of advances in the electronics industry. The second section contains information on device testing trends and characterization from the ESDA and ESDA/Joint Electron Device Engineering Council (JEDEC) teams working on these methods. The roadmap also includes an outlook on important trends in the semiconductor industry looking towards 2030 and closes with a section on electronic design (EDA), and important contributor to reliable and robust ESD and latch-up design.

"EOS/ESD Association, Inc. is the independent association with the technical expertise to provide the roadmap for research and development (R&D) as well as education in electrostatic discharge," said Executive Director Lisa Pimpinella. "As an association that combines representatives from all of the major semiconductor companies in the world, we are highlighting the criticality of research, development, education, and funding to ensure electrostatic discharge is recognized as the major thrust behind reliability."
