Design Optimal ESD Protection With Context-Aware SPICE Simulation

By Neel Natekar - 29 Aug, 2024 - Comments: 0

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a major reliability concern for modern ICs. Ensuring the robustness of ICs in an ESD event by providing adequate ESD protection is proving to be a major challenge for IC designers due to factors such as shrinking of the design features, reduction in gate oxide thickness, increase in the contact and interconnect resistance and an increase in the overall design co... » read more

Context-Aware SPICE Simulation Improves The Fidelity Of ESD Analysis

By Neel Natekar - 10 Feb, 2022 - Comments: 0

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a major reliability concern for integrated circuit (IC) designs. ESD verification is proving to be a significant challenge at advanced nodes, due to growing IC design complexity and transistor counts. Traditional ESD verification approaches using parasitic extraction followed by SPICE simulation are deficient in providing simulation results in a practical runtim... » read more
