ESD : Circuits and Devices

__ESD: Circuits and Devices 2nd Edition__ provides a clear picture of layout and design of digital, analog, radio frequency (RF) and power applications for protection from electrostatic discharge (ESD), electrical overstress (EOS), and latchup phenomena from a generalist perspective and design synthesis practices providing optimum solutions in advanced technologies. New features in the 2nd edition: * Expanded treatment of ESD and analog design of passive devices of resistors, capacitors, inductors, and active devices of diodes, bipolar junction transistors, MOSFETs, and FINFETs. * Increased focus on ESD power clamps for power rails for CMOS, Bipolar, and BiCMOS. * Co-synthesizing of semiconductor chip architecture and floor planning with ESD design practices for analog, and mixed signal applications * Illustrates the influence of analog design practices on ESD design circuitry, from integration, synthesis and layout, to symmetry, matching, inter-digitation, and common centroid techniques. * Increased emphasis on system-level testing conforming to IEC 61000-4-2 and IEC 61000-4-5. * Improved coverage of low-capacitance ESD, scaling of devices and oxide scaling challenges. __ESD: Circuits and Devices 2nd Edition__ is an essential reference to ESD, circuit & semiconductor engineers and quality, reliability &analysis engineers. It is also useful for graduate and undergraduate students in electrical engineering, semiconductor sciences, microelectronics and IC design. The scaling of semiconductor devices from sub-micron to nanometerdimensions is driving the need for understanding the design ofelectrostatic discharge (ESD) circuits, and the response of theseintegrated circuits (IC) to ESD phenomena. ESD Circuits and Devices provides a clear insight intothe layout and design of circuitry for protection againstelectrical overstress (EOS) and ESD. With an emphasis onexamples, this text: • explains ESD buffering, ballasting, current distribution,design segmentation, feedback, coupling, and de-coupling ESD designmethods; • outlines the fundamental analytical models and experimentalresults for the ESD design of MOSFETs and diode semiconductordevice elements, with a focus on CMOS, silicon on insulator (SOI),and Silicon Germanium (SiGe) technology; • focuses on the ESD design, optimization, integration andsynthesis of these elements and concepts into ESD networks, as wellas applying within the off-chip driver networks, and on-chipreceivers; and • highlights state-of-the-art ESD input circuits, as well as ESDpower clamps networks. Continuing the author's series of books on ESD, this bookwill be an invaluable reference for the professional semiconductorchip and system ESD engineer. Semiconductor device andprocess development, quality, reliability and failure analysisengineers will also find it an essential tool. In addition,both senior undergraduate and graduate students in microelectronicsand IC design will find its numerous examples useful.
