This paper describes a tool for full-chip static ESD (ElectroStatic Discharge) verification called ESD IP Explorer. The tool feasibility is first demonstrated on a 64-pin custom R&D testchip. Its scalability is tested in a second example involving a 138mm2 3,066-bump prototype, which basic verification is performed in less than 8 hours. Both examples are in 28nm UTBB (Ultra-thin-body and BOX - Buried Oxide) FD-SOI High-K metal gate technology. More advanced static verification features are finally discussed.

Our new ESD design methodology use gate work function control and channel length optimization. We developed a P/N hybrid gate NMOS, where P gate in the channel region reduces subthreshold leakage current thanks to a higher Vth, and N gate in the overlap region reduces GIDL thanks to a lower electric field.

A charged electronic system failed while it was connected to a USB port. The resulting discharge current waveform had a sub-nanosecond initial peak that bypassed on-board protection devices. In this study the ESD stress waveform is analyzed with simulation and measurement methods.

Very fast TLP stresses applied to HV ESD diodes in forward conduction are able to reproduce well known and CDM typical effects as Forward Recovery. In this work a full RLC vf-TLP model is introduced in order to investigate HV ESD diodes electrical and physical behavior using TCAD mixed-mode simulations.

For voltage (V) stress of TMRs, the log of the dielectric breakdown time is found to be linear in (H-γZaV/tB)/(kBT), where H, γ, Z, a, tB and kB are an activation energy, a parameter, charge, tunnel barrier lattice constant and thickness, and Boltzmann constant. T is the ambient plus Joule heating temperature of the tunnel barrier.

A study of PMOS arrays self-protection capability, related HBM-TLP miscorrelation and HBM passing level windowing effect is presented. Based on experimental results and 2D mixed-mode numerical simulation analysis the physical mechanism of the PMOS self-protection limitation is determined to be a complex two-stage phenomenon. It is initiated by a “weak” isothermal avalanche-injection conductivity modulation followed by electro-thermal spatial current instability in the 1μs time domain due to the positive feedback between thermal carrier generation and local power dissipation. The follow-up measures to improve the PMOS array self-protection capability are discussed and validated.

CDM standard JS-002 is introduced, including the reasons for its development and the technical issues the new standard addresses. JS-002 is compared to the JEDEC JESD22-C101, ESDA and AEC Q100 CDM standards in terms of waveforms and integrated circuit pass/fail levels. JS-002 robustness levels are similar to JEDEC CDM levels.

It was found that two vendors' steel toe ESD footwear technical specifications were inaccurate. Two of the three steel toe ESD footwear provided by vendors failed the resistance measurement as per ANSI/ESD STM9.1 and STM97.1. Additional assessment was conducted to determine the durability of the steel toe ESD footwear.
