China ESD Forum Workshop

This special event is planned to be a one-of-a-kind workshop/forum to bring forth the realities of ESD requirements in light of the rapidly advancing semiconductor technologies requiring higher speeds of operations while balanced with much improved worldwide ESD factory control at fabs and assembly areas. It is designed to be a two-day event to bring together key customers and IC quality managers to learn and exchange information about the current issues of ESD requirements, and facilitate all to harmonize towards common goals for product cost savings. The event will cover both adequate background and customer application needs.

The workshop will address:

• Efficiency of ESD control methods by Kevin Duncan, Seagate Technology
• Practical ESD target levels of today and roadmap by Industry Council chairmen,   Charvaka Duvvury and Harald Gossner
• System efficient ESD protection design by Harald Gossner, Intel
• Real world and test effects by Hiroyasu Ishizuka, Synaptics; Nobuyuki Wakai, Toshiba

In the panel discussion the lead ESD experts and quality managers will lay out a target roadmap of ESD, useful for suppliers and customers in East Asia.
