Key factors and improvement measures of the ESD system
In today's electronics industry, ESD protection design and ESD production control will be increasingly valued. This is because, on the one hand, due to the rapid development of technology, the integration has increased the electronic structure to make the structure more sensitive to static electricity, and on the other hand, the related ESD protection design can achieve the near-limit, which will lead to production. The resulting device will be more sensitive. A recent study of semiconductor reference technologies for integrated circuit (IC) suppliers shows that ESD will be one of the three main factors affecting product reliability in the next five years and will become an impact in the manufacturing process. The most important factor of reliability.
The most important thing is to establish and implement an effective ESD system to eliminate the impact of this trend. It requires companies to have their ESD control coverage from design to user use. ESD industry standards, such as ANSI/ESDS20.20, can help companies focus on the operation of static-sensitive devices. Moreover, the ESD system requires effective management and covers all aspects of product development and production processes to achieve ultimate success. In fact, a well-managed ESD system is far more effective than an ESD system that only spends on item purchases. The well-managed ESD system mentioned here is a system that is technically plus management and capable of self-development in a step-by-step manner.
The strategic and economic benefits of the ESD system far outweigh the costs of ESD. However, how to measure this benefit is not easy for many companies because it is difficult to directly reflect on financial indicators. A large number of cases show that although the well-managed ESD system only sees the cost of ESD from the financial indicators, if the strategic intangible benefits are considered, the value of the ESD system is not limited. Table 1 shows the ESD of an electronic factory. The benefits to the factory after the improvement measures are completed. For a large company's factory, this comprehensive benefit may be tens of millions per year, which is very impressive.
