ESD & cleanroom services
Training, audits and specialist support, built around the people, processes and scope at your facility.
Discuss your scopeBuild knowledge. Review your processes.
Training and audits address different needs. Start with the outcome your team requires.
ESD Training
Practical ESD awareness and control training for the people working with sensitive components. Discuss the participants, facility practices and learning objectives.
Explore ESD trainingESD Audit
Review the agreed ESD control scope, working practices and supporting evidence. Identify the areas and documents that need to be included before scheduling.
Explore ESD auditsCleanroom Standards Training
Build understanding of cleanroom procedures and the standards relevant to the agreed training scope. Share the facility use and the team’s learning needs.
Explore cleanroom trainingCleanroom Audit
Discuss an audit of the agreed cleanroom procedures, operating practices and records. Identify any separate testing requirements when defining the scope.
Explore cleanroom auditsDefine the technical question.
PBSS also lists engineering, measurement and equipment-verification support. Discuss the application and requested activities so the appropriate scope can be proposed.
Discuss a technical enquiryAudits
Auditing of the complete ESD Control Program throughout your manufacturing process, including Receiving Inspection, Shipping, and Stockrooms. Identifying the strengths and weaknesses of your ESD Control Program. Gap Analysis of current processes to compliance and certification. Verification of increased performance of the updated ESD Controls.
Training
ESD Awareness and Control Training: An interesting hands on training course with plenty of demonstrations that provides the basics for ESD control in the workplace and is suitable for all employees. This course is customized to your facility and your control program. Controlling ESD by Design: A hands on course that provides basic design information to integrate ESD control into the finished designs.
Charge Measurements
Measurements of incoming and outgoing assemblies for analysis.Line Charge Analysis or LCA:Specific voltage measurements of assemblies prior to each handler in the process.Specific voltage measurements of assemblies through each handler in the process.The charged-device model (CDM) test is the most accurate component-level test as far as simulating real world events
Engineering
Verification of manual and automated processes to determine if they meet the ever increasing requirements of Class 0 Classification.
Measurements of materials in product paths, assemblies, and elements of the handler consisting of:
Stationary and Dynamic Voltage measurements.
Stationary and Dynamic Resistance measurements of material and material to ground.
Material Specification and Verification
Material Resistance:
Surface Resistance, point to point resistance on the same side of material
Volume Resistance, resistance through the material
Charge decay
Material Identification
ESD Equipment Verification Course
Specific voltage measurements of assemblies after exiting each handler in the process.
Data is plotted and analyzed to document current status and used to prioritize improvements if required.This course is suitable for Engineers, Designers, and personnel who specify processes.Provides hands on training of equipment and methods used to verify compliance of ESD Control equipment.
