Some system level ESD tests do not repeat well if different ESD generators are used. For improving the test repeatability, ESD generator specifications were considered to be changed and a world wide Round Robin test were performed in 2006 to compare the modified and unmodified ESD generators. The test results show the failure level variations up to 1:3 for an EUT among eight different ESD generators. Multiple ESD parameters including discharge currents and transient fields have been measured.

The voltage induced in a semi-circular loop and the ringing after first discharge current peak show the best correlation to failure levels. The regulation on the transient field is expected to improve the test repeatability.
