The ESD FORUM e.V. hosts periodically the following events:

ESD-Forum

Every other year, the ESD-Forum is the central event of the ESD FORUM e.V. Typically, more than 100 ESD experts form Germany, Austria, Switzerland, The Netherlands, and the United States, attend the ESD-Forum. The main language of the ESD-Forum is German, but English language may be used for printed materials, presentations and discussions.

Subject of the conference are the impact of electrostatic effects and electrical overstress (EOS) on microelectronics. The conference provides a forum for participants from industry, academia, and research to discuss possible improvements and solutions for ESD and EOS related problems. Furthermore, the ESD-Forum gives information on new trends and developments in the field of electrostatics.

During the ESD-Forum, leading ESD experts give presentations on the following topics:

  • Fundamentals on ESD, EOS, latch-up
  • Measurement, characterization, and qualification
  • ESD and EOS control
  • Protection on component and system level
  • Damage, failure mechanisms, and reliability
  • ESD and latch-up requirments, standards, training and education

All presented papers are published in the “ESD-Forum” conference proceedings. In parallel, tutorials and an exhibition of commercial ESD products are planned.
