WG 23.0 – Electrical Overstress (EOS) Best Practices

Summary of meeting activities:

ESD TR23.0-01 was published between meeting series. A strategy and objectives for a new document on electrical stress replication was discussed. A presentation was given on a proposed framework for an electrical stress control program.

Summary of meeting activities:

The working group finished adjudicating TAS comments on ESD TR23.0-01 and the document will be submitted for publication review. A strategy and objectives for a new document on an electrical stress control program was discussed.

Summary of meeting activities:

The working group continued working on an electrical stress control document. An initial draft was presented and reviewed at high level for organization and scope.

Summary of meeting activities:

The group finished adjudicating new TAS comments on ESD TR23.0-01; the document will be submitted for publication. A work statement was also reviewed based on TAS feedback for a new standard practice on an EOS control program.

Summary of meeting activities:

The group finished adjudication TAS comments on ESD TR23.0-01; the document will be distributed to TAS for a second review before publication. A work statement was also finalized for a new technical report on electrical stress control.

Summary of meeting activities:

The group completed adjudication of TAS comments on ESD TR23.01 and drafted work statements for two new technical reports on replication of EOS damage and an electrical stress factory control program.

Summary of meeting activities:

The working group began discussion on a new document aimed at controlling electrical stresses in manufacturing in the same way ANSI/ESD S20.20 does for ESD. There was also discussion on a new document on replication stressing techniques that would aid in root cause analysis of potential EOS failures

Summary of meeting activities:

The working group completed adjudication of all TAS comments on ESD TR23.0-01. A presentation was given on the SEMI 176. The group also discussed the next steps for a new document - EOS Control Program and EOS Replication Testing.

Summary of meeting activities:

The group continued adjudicating technical advisory and support committee comments on a new technical report for the best practice for mitigation of EOS in manufacturing and test.

Summary of meeting activities:

The working group started adjudicating comments from the Technical and Administrative Support committee on ESD TR23.0-01-1x – electrical overstress in manufacturing and test.

Summary of meeting activities:

The working group continued working on a technical report for best practices of EOS mitigation in manufacturing and test including agreement on a new section explaining new definitions of EOS and related terms.

Summary of meeting activities:

A presentation was given on how EMI becomes EOS. The working group continued working on a technical report for best practices of EOS mitigation in manufacturing and test.

Summary of meeting activities:

The working group continued working on a technical report for best practices for EOS mitigation in manufacturing and test.

Summary of meeting activities:

The working group reviewed the updated scope, purpose, and two major technical sections of a new technical report. Volunteers were identified to write the remaining sections (definitions, references, etc). Topics for the next version of the technical report were also identified (board-level test and auditing).

Summary of meeting activities:

An introduction to the past work / work in progress of WG 23 was presented. Then the committee reviewed the major sections of a document currently being developed for assembly and test. More sections were identified and assigned to writers; the committee will continue reviewing at the September meeting.

Summary of meeting activities:

The committee discussed current progress on the individual sections of the EOS best practice technical report including sources of EOS in circuit assembly and test. The WG will continue to work on the technical report before and during the July virtual meeting. A presentation was give on measurements when high frequency disturbances; a section will be added to the technical report based on the information presented.

Summary of meeting activities:

The committee discussed current progress on the individual sections of the EOS best practice technical report.
