ESDA
Latchup Physics and Design
Program
ESD Certified Professional-Device/Design Engineer
 
Course Length
Half-day course (approximate)
 
Description

Latchup continues to be of interest today in advanced CMOS, mixed signal (MS) CMOS, RF CMOS, BiCMOS, and BiCMOS silicon germanium. The latchup tutorial will provide a discussion on device-level latchup physics, latchup metrics and design criteria, latchup test structures, test methods, latchup measurement techniques, device-level CAD simulation, and new latchup issues. Both internal and external latchup phenomenon, as well as DC and transient latchup, will be addressed. Latchup structures, guard ring physics, and characterization will be discussed in depth. The tutorial will provide examples of discussion on latchup device level simulation using latchup scaling issues as examples. Latchup process solutions, such as heavily doped buried layers (HDBL) and triple wells will be shown. The tutorial will briefly discuss latchup standards. The tutorial will end with a discussion on the state-of-the-art latchup issues and characterization techniques and tools.
