Practical Aspects of Managing EMI-Caused EOS in IC Handlers and Similar Equipment

Manufacturing and handling of 5G semiconductors require heightened attention to EMI exposure in manufacturing process. This paper outlines detailed methodical steps of bringing a regular IC handler in compliance with EMI recommendations of SEMI E.176 and ESD TR23.0-01-20. Measurements, mitigation, and verification are included. Applicable to any semiconductor process.
