Understanding Footwear and Flooring in ESD Control
I have a floor that complies with IEC 61340-5-1 and ANSI/ESD S20.20, and buy footwear that also complies, so that’s sorted then? Well, not really. It’s a good starting point, but…

Automated Latch-Up Verification in 2.5D/3D ICs
Ok, let’s start with the basics. What is latch-up, and why do designers care about it?In today’s tightly packed layouts, most integrated circuits (ICs) end up with parasitic bipolar transistors…

Next to FinFET, How Will ESD Suffer?
Roughly a decade ago, starting at 22nm technology nodes, the transistor architecture changed from planar to FinFET [1-3]. Bulk FinFET (FF) which is a multi-gate transistor built on Si substrate…

What Exactly is ESD for 3D ICs?
For decades, Moore’s law has been driven by the downscaling of transistor dimensions on silicon. When reaching the ultra-advanced integrated circuit (IC) fabrication technologies in the single-digit nm regime (currently…
