ES612A ESD and Latch-UP Tester (HBM, HMM, MM, LU, TLU, TLP)

1. Description

 

The ES612A is a versatile and high-performance ESD test system designed for evaluating devices at both the wafer and package levels. It supports industry-standard ESD models including HBM, HMM, and MM. With built-in DC characterization capabilities, the system simplifies the process of determining ESD failure thresholds. For increased flexibility, the ES612A can be expanded with an optional multi-pin relay module, or relay based HBM/MM/LU ATE benchtop expansion module configuration support up to 512 pins, Integrated rack configuration supports up to 2560 pins, making it an ideal solution for comprehensive device qualification and reliability testing.

 

The pulse source design and pulse source delivery method ensure waveform performance directly at the device under test. Current waveforms can be automatically captured and analyzed for each ESD event. In addition, voltage waveforms can be captured and used to determine the turn-on level of protection circuit. They can also be used as a means of failure determination, as the DC characterizations show changes after ESD events.

2. Features

  • Low Parasitic HBM/HMM/MM tester with high quality pulses
  • Very configurable and expandable
  • Robotic-basedautomation unlimited pins, relay-based automation up to 2560 pins, 8 sources
  • External low parasitic pulse module friendly for probe stations
  • Large Touch Panel and Firmware Upgradable
  • Optional Latch-Up test Capability
  • Optional Software Controlled Automated Pulse and Failure Measurement
  • Optional Pulsed IV and static IV Characterization
  • Optional UPS runtime (≥5 min)
  • Latching option supports future upgrade to “Dynamic Latching” and Transient Latch-Up
  • Customize latching module’s test fixture board
  • Pre-/post-HBM I-V Curve Comparison (on same axes)

3. Applications

  • General device level ESD test for wafer, packaged, PCB and system devices
  • HBM module meets ANSI/ESDA/JEDEC JS-001,MIL-STD-883, AEC-Q-101-001, AEC-Q-101-001, AEC-Q100-002, GJB548C and MIL-STD-750
  • HMM module meets ANSI/ESD SP5.6, 50 Ohm method
  • MM module meets ANSI/ESD STM5.2, JEDEC/JESD22-A115
  • Latch-up (LU) meet JEDEC JESD78, AEC-Q100-004
  • Vf-TLP module for fast risetime TLP applications

They can also be used as a means of failure determination, as the DC characterizations show changes after ESD events.

The system’s fast speed is achieved by pushing the performance of high/mid speed relays’ control timing to the best. The low parasitic performance is achieved with highly EMC optimized low parasitic PCB and mechanical architecture current return path (GND) design.
