Semiconductor devices - Mechanical and climatic test methods - Part 28: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitivity testing - Charged device model (CDM) - device level
IEC 60749-28:2022 establishes the procedure for testing, evaluating, and classifying devices and microcircuits according to their susceptibility (sensitivity) to damage or degradation by exposure to a defined field-induced charged device model (CDM) electrostatic discharge (ESD). All packaged semiconductor devices, thin film circuits, surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices, opto-electronic devices, hybrid integrated circuits (HICs), and multi-chip modules (MCMs) containing any of these devices are to be evaluated according to this document. To perform the tests, the devices are assembled into a package similar to that expected in the final application. This CDM document does not apply to socketed discharge model testers. This document describes the field-induced (FI) method. An alternative, the direct contact (DC) method, is described in Annex J. The purpose of this document is to establish a test method that will replicate CDM failures and provide reliable, repeatable CDM ESD test results from tester to tester, regardless of device type. Repeatable data will allow accurate classifications and comparisons of CDM ESD sensitivity levels. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- a new subclause and annex relating to the problems associated with CDM testing of integrated circuits and discrete semiconductors in very small packages;
- changes to clarify cleaning of devices and testers.
Dispositifs à semiconducteurs - Méthodes d’essai mécaniques et climatiques - Partie 28: Essai de sensibilité aux décharges électrostatiques (DES) - Modèle de dispositif chargé (CDM) - niveau du dispositif
L’IEC 60749-28:2022 établit la procédure d’essai, d’évaluation et de classification des dispositifs et des microcircuits selon leur susceptibilité (sensibilité) au dommage ou leur dégradation par suite de leur exposition à une décharge électrostatique (DES) sur un modèle défini de dispositif chargé (CDM) induit par champ. Tous les dispositifs à semiconducteurs, circuits à couches minces, dispositifs à ondes acoustiques de surface (OAS), dispositifs optoélectroniques, circuits intégrés hybrides (HIC - hybrid integrated circuits) et modules multipuces (MCM - multi-chip modules) en boîtiers qui contiennent l’un de ces dispositifs doivent être évalués selon le présent document. Pour effectuer les essais, les dispositifs sont assemblés dans un boîtier similaire à celui prévu dans l’application finale. Le présent document CDM ne s’applique pas aux appareils d’essai de modèles de décharge avec support. Il décrit en revanche la méthode induite par champ (FI - field-induced). Une méthode alternative, la méthode par contact direct (DC - direct contact), est décrite à l’Annexe J. L’objet du présent document est d’établir une méthode d'essai qui reproduit les défaillances du CDM et de fournir des résultats d'essais de DES de CDM fiables et reproductibles d'un appareil d'essai à un autre, indépendamment du type de dispositif. Des données reproductibles permettent des classifications et des comparaisons exactes des niveaux de sensibilité de DES de CDM. Cette édition contient les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
- ajout d’un nouveau paragraphe et d'une nouvelle annexe relatifs aux problèmes associés à l’essai de CDM des circuits intégrés et des semiconducteurs discrets dans de très petits boîtiers;
- introduction de modifications afin de clarifier le nettoyage des dispositifs et des appareils d’essai.
