3D TCAD Analysis Enabling ESD Layout Design Optimization
On-chip electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection design for integrated circuits (ICs) is a challenging design-for-reliability problem. Since ESD events involve very high current transients in very short time period, current crowding is unavoidable, which leads to local overheating and creates local...
