An authoritative single-volume reference on the design and testing of electrostatic discharge (ESD) structures.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a serious challenge to the reliability of semiconductors, integrated circuits (ICs), and microelectronic systems - on-chip ESD protection is a vital component of smartphones, laptops, tablets, and other electronic devices. Practical ESD Protection Design provides comprehensive and systematic guidance on all major aspects of on-chip ESD protection for integrated circuits (ICs).
Written for students and practicing engineers alike, this one-stop resource covers essential theories, hands-on design skills, computer-aided design (CAD) methods, ESD failure testing and analysis, and more. Detailed chapters examine an array of topics ranging from fundamental to advanced, including ESD phenomena, ESD protection devices and circuits, ESD design layout and technology effects, emerging ESD protection designs, and circuit simulation modelling.
The birth of Germanium (Ge) transistor in 1947, followed by the inventions of integrated circuits (ICs) in Ge and Silicon (Si) in 1958 and 1959, respectively, and particularly the advent of Si complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) IC technology in 1963, led to the prosperity of semiconductor microelectronics, which have forever changed the human society. Semiconductors and ICs laid the foundation of the information technology (IT) era where everything relies on ICs, from internet to internet of everything (IoET), from smartphones to tablets, and from autonomous driving to artificial intelligence (AI). ICs are truly everyday commodity now. Like other products, Performance and Reliability are the two cornerstone attributes of ICs. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a daily phenomenon that can cause damages to ICs. ESD failure is a major IC reliability problem ever since IC was born. On-chip ESD protection is therefore required for all ICs, as well as all electronics products. For the microelectronics industry, ICs are sold for monies due to the performance, however, ICs could not be sold without adequate on-chip ESD protection. For consumers, IC performance makes your smartphone powerful and enjoyable, however, one would kill a touch phone instantly if no ESD protection provided for IC chips. Generally, as IC technologies continue to advance into the nanometer domain, while IC performance and complexity increase rapidly, on-chip ESD protection design is becoming extremely more challenging today. How to conduct practical ESD protection designs for ICs is the scope of this book. Developed as a professional reference for IC design engineers and a textbook for upper-level students majoring in microelectronics, this book teaches both fundamentals and practical skills of on-chip ESD protection designs.
Based on the author’s decades of design, teaching, and research experience, Practical ESD Protection Design:
Features numerous real-world examples of electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection designs and skills
Describes the design methodology for high-performance mixed-signal ICs and broadband radio-frequency (RF) ICs
Discusses CAD-based ESD protection design using existing tools such as Technology Computer-Aided Design (TCAD) and SPICE simulation
Addresses new ESD CAD algorithms and tools for full-chip ESD physical design verification
Explores the disruptive future outlook of ESD protection
Practical ESD Protection Design is a valuable reference for industrial engineers and academic researchers in the field, and an excellent textbook for electronic engineering courses in semiconductor microelectronics and integrated circuit design.
