The electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitivity of ICs with respect to the charged-device model (CDM) is strongly dependent on the IC package, the substrate resistivity, and the effectiveness of the ESD protection network. This paper presents a case study of predictive CDM circuit simulation method based on the tester, package, and full IC modeling approach.
Index Terms-Bipolar and complementary metal oxide semiconductor (BiCMOS) integrated circuits (ICs), electrostatic discharge (ESD), SPICE simulations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
