Electrostatic discharge (ESD) continues to impact semiconductormanufacturing, semiconductor components and systems, astechnologies scale from micro- to nano electronics. This bookintroduces the fundamentals of ESD, electrical overstress (EOS),electromagnetic interference (EMI), electromagnetic compatibility(EMC), and latchup, as well as provides a coherent overview of thesemiconductor manufacturing environment and the final systemassembly. It provides an illuminating look into the integration ofESD protection networks followed by examples in specifictechnologies, circuits, and chips.
The text is unique in covering semiconductor chip manufacturingissues, ESD semiconductor chip design, and system problemsconfronted today as well as the future of ESD phenomena andnano-technology.
Look inside for extensive coverage on:
* The fundamentals of electrostatics, triboelectric charging, andhow they relate to present day manufacturing environments ofmicro-electronics to nano-technology
* Semiconductor manufacturing handling and auditing processing toavoid ESD failures
* ESD, EOS, EMI, EMC, and latchup semiconductor component andsystem level testing to demonstrate product resilience from humanbody model (HBM), transmission line pulse (TLP), charged devicemodel (CDM), human metal model (HMM), cable discharge events (CDE),to system level IEC 61000-4-2 tests
* ESD on-chip design and process manufacturing practices andsolutions to improve ESD semiconductor chip solutions, alsopractical off-chip ESD protection and system level solutions toprovide more robust systems
* System level concerns in servers, laptops, disk drives, cellphones, digital cameras, hand held devices, automobiles, and spaceapplications
* Examples of ESD design for state-of-the-art technologies,including CMOS, BiCMOS, SOI, bipolar technology, high voltage CMOS(HVCMOS), RF CMOS, smart power, magnetic recording technology,micro-machines (MEMs) to nano-structures
ESD Basics: From Semiconductor Manufacturing to ProductUse complements the author's series of books on ESDprotection. For those new to the field, it is an essentialreference and a useful insight into the issues that confront moderntechnology as we enter the Nano-electronic Era.
