Abstruct-This paper discusses the electrostatic discharge (ESD) robustness in silicon-on-insulator (SOI) high-pin-count high-performance semiconductor chips. The ESD results demonstrate that sufficient ESD protection levels are achievable in SO1 microprocessors using lateral ESD SO1 polysilicon-bound gated diodes without the need for additional masking steps, process implants or ESD design area.
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.
