Scope
The intent of this report is to document and provide critical information to assess and make decisions on
safe ESD level requirements. The scope of this document is to provide this information to quality
organizations in both semiconductor companies and their IC customers.
Special Notes on the System Level ESD:
1. This work and the recommendations therein are intended for Component Level safe ESD
requirements and will have little or no effect on system level ESD results.
2. Systems and System boards should continue to be designed to meet appropriate ESD threats
regardless of the components in the systems that are meeting the new recommendations from this
work, and that all proper system reliability must be assessed through the IEC test method.
Special Notes on the Machine Model:
1. The Machine Model (MM) method as specified by some customers and suppliers is not a preferred
methodology by JEDEC for use in place of or in addition to HBM and CDM test protocols.
2. In contrast to HBM testers, MM testers are known to have wide variations in output results and thus
can give relatively less accurate information from user to user.
