Test Procedure for the Measurement of Terrestrial Cosmic Ray Induced Destructive Effects in Power Semiconductor Devices |
JEP151A | Jan 2022 |
This test method defines the requirements and procedures for terrestrial destructive* single-event effects (SEE) for example, single-event breakdown (SEB), single-event latch-up (SEL) and single-event gate rupture (SEGR) testing . It is valid when using an accelerator, generating a nucleon beam of either; 1) Mono-energetic protons or mono-energetic neutrons of at least 150 MeV energy, or 2) Neutrons from a spallation spectrum with maximum energy of at least 150 MeV. This test method does not apply to testing that uses beams with particles heavier than protons. *This test method addresses a separate risk than does JESD89 tests for non-destructive SEE due to cosmic radiation effects on terrestrial applications.

SYSTEM LEVEL ESD: PART II: IMPLEMENTATION OF EFFECTIVE ESD ROBUST DESIGNSThis is an editorial revision, details can be found in Annex F. |
JEP162A.01 | Jan 2021 |
This document, while establishing the complex nature of System Level ESD, proposes that an efficient ESD design can only be achieved when the interaction of the various components under ESD conditions are analyzed at the system level. This objective requires an appropriate characterization of the components and a methodology to assess the entire system using simulation data. This is applicable to system failures of different categories (such as hard, soft, and electromagnetic interference (EMI)). This type of systematic approach is long overdue and represents an advanced design approach which replaces the misconception, as discussed in detail in JEP161, that a system will be sufficiently robust if all components exceed a certain ESD level.

DISCONTINUING USE OF THE MACHINE MODEL FOR DEVICE ESD QUALIFICATIONStatus: Reaffirmed September 2020 |
JEP172A | Jul 2015 |
Over the last several decades the so called "machine model" (aka MM) and its application to the required ESD component qualification has been grossly misunderstood. The scope of this JEDEC document is to present evidence to discontinue use of this particular model stress test without incurring any reduction in the IC component's ESD reliability for manufacturing. In this regard, the document's purpose is to provide the necessary technical arguments for strongly recommending no further use of this model for IC qualification. The published document should be used as a reference to propagate this message throughout the industry. Committee(s): JC-14.3 Free download. Registration or login required. |
