The differences in the ESD Association and the JEDEC HBM testing procedures (/spl sim/qualification) and tester specifications (/spl sim/test result reproducibility) are investigated. A reduction of the test time-and thus cost-by a factor of 30 to ultimately 300, is addressed and justified. A future issue, the definition of HBM waveform envelopes to replace HBM waveform specifications, is addressed and a viable solution is offered.Proceedings paper10.1109/eosesd.1996.865125
