Abstract
A previously undetected trailing pulse from HBM testers was found to create unexpected gate oxide failures on new technologies. This secondary pulse, which is EOS in nature, is caused by the discharge relay and the parasitics of the charge circuit. This paper investigates this critical phenomenon and establishes the tester improvements to safely suppress the trailing pulse effects.
