ESD Co-Design For High-Speed SerDeS In FinFET Technologies
By Synopsys - 07 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

An electronic device is susceptible to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) damage during its entire life cycle, including the phase from the completion of the silicon wafer processing to when the device (die) is assembled in the system. To avoid yield loss due to ESD damage during this early phase, on-chip ESD protection measures are applied to provide a certain degree of ESD robustness. The componen... » read more
