| Description |
| This tutorial addresses modeling and
simulation of protection circuit elements and networks under ESD conditions.
The high current characteristics and transient responses of devices
typically used in ESD protection circuits will be presented. The objective
is to ascertain what behaviors have to be captured in models intended
for circuit-level simulation of ESD. Specific examples of model implementations
will be provided. Parameter extraction and model scalability will
be addressed. Thermal modeling will be discussed, as will the issue
of modeling the off-state behavior of ESD protection devices. |
| |
| Pre-requisites |
| The tutorial assumes some familiarity with device physics and is directed
toward persons with an interest in the transistor-level physics of ESD
in on-chip protection circuits and an in computer-aided design. |
