Dynamic gate coupling of NMOS for efficient output ESD protection
Charvaka Duvvury,Carlos H. Diaz +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a dynamic gate coupling effect that increases the electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection efficiency of NMOS output devices is reported and the design issues for optimum output ESD protection are also discussed.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Modeling MOS snapback and parasitic bipolar action for circuit-level ESD and high current simulations
TL;DR: In this article, a circuit-level simulator for ESD and EOS is presented, which uses the three terminal currents obtained from a single high current I-V curve, and compared to experimental data for single devices as well as a practical output circuit.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Substrate triggering and salicide effects on ESD performance and protection circuit design in deep submicron CMOS processes
TL;DR: The effect of salicides and the influence of the local substrate potential on ESD performance of deep submicron nMOS transistors have been studied in this paper, where it is shown that salicidation causes a strong dependence of ESD performances on effective channel length in these devices.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Substrate pump NMOS for ESD protection applications
TL;DR: In this article, a floating guardring is used to pump the local substrate of the protection NMOS to achieve uniform npn protection in a multi-finger NMOS for advanced CMOS technologies with silicide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Internal chip ESD phenomena beyond the protection circuit
TL;DR: In this paper, the issues of protection between V/sub DD/ and V/ sub SS/ are discussed and examples of how protection circuit performance can be sensitive to internal chip layout, independent of its effective design.
