ESD

Beschreibung

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) continues to impact semiconductorcomponents and systems as technologies scale from micro- tonano-electronics. This book studies electrical overstress, ESD, and latchup from awhole-chip ESD design synthesis approach. It provides a clearinsight into the integration of ESD protection networks from ageneralist perspective, followed by examples in specifictechnologies, circuits, and chips. Uniquely both the semiconductorchip integration issues and floorplanning of ESD networks arecovered from a 'top-down' design approach. Look inside for extensive coverage on: * integration of cores, power bussing, and signal pins in DRAM,SRAM, CMOS image processing chips, microprocessors, analogproducts, RF components and how the integration influences ESDdesign and integration * architecturing of mixed voltage, mixed signal, to RF design forESD analysis * floorplanning for peripheral and core I/O designs, and theimplications on ESD and latchup * guard ring integration for both a 'bottom-up' and'top-down' methodology addressing I/O guard rings, ESD guardrings, I/O to I/O, and I/O to core * classification of ESD power clamps and ESD signal pincircuitry, and how to make the correct choice for a givensemiconductor chip * examples of ESD design for the state-of-the-art technologiesdiscussed, including CMOS, BiCMOS, silicon on insulator (SOI),bipolar technology, high voltage CMOS (HVCMOS), RF CMOS, and smartpower * practical methods for the understanding of ESD circuit powerdistribution, ground rule development, internal bus distribution,current path analysis, quality metrics ESD: Design and Synthesis is a continuation of theauthor's series of books on ESD protection. It is an essentialreference for: ESD, circuit, and semiconductor engineers; designsynthesis team leaders; layout design, characterisation,floorplanning, test and reliability engineers; technicians; andgroundrule and test site developers in the manufacturing and designof semiconductor chips. It is also useful for graduate and undergraduate students inelectrical engineering, semiconductor sciences, and manufacturingsciences, and on courses involving the design of ESD devices, chipsand systems. This book offers a useful insight into the issues thatconfront modern technology as we enter the nano-electronic era.
