Electrostatic discharge (ESD) continues to impact semiconductor
components and systems as technologies scale from micro- to
nano-electronics.
This book studies electrical overstress, ESD, and latchup from a
whole-chip ESD design synthesis approach. It provides a clear
insight into the integration of ESD protection networks from a
generalist perspective, followed by examples in specific
technologies, circuits, and chips. Uniquely both the semiconductor
chip integration issues and floorplanning of ESD networks are
covered from a 'top-down' design approach.
Look inside for extensive coverage on: integration of cores,
power bussing, and signal pins in DRAM, SRAM, CMOS image processing
chips, microprocessors, analog products, RF components and how the
integration influences ESD design and integrationarchitecturing of
mixed voltage, mixed signal, to RF design for ESD
analysisfloorplanning for peripheral and core I/O designs, and the
implications on ESD and latchupguard ring integration for both a
'bottom-up' and 'top-down' methodology addressing I/O guard rings,
ESD guard rings, I/O to I/O, and I/O to coreclassification of ESD
power clamps and ESD signal pin circuitry, and how to make the
correct choice for a given semiconductor chipexamples of ESD design
for the state-of-the-art technologies discussed, including CMOS,
BiCMOS, silicon on insulator (SOI), bipolar technology, high
voltage CMOS (HVCMOS), RF CMOS, and smart powerpractical methods

rule development, internal bus distribution, current path analysis,

"ESD: Design and Synthesis" is a continuation of the author's
series of books on ESD protection. It is an essential reference
for: ESD, circuit, and semiconductor engineers; design synthesis
team leaders; layout design, characterisation, floorplanning, test
and reliability engineers; technicians; and groundrule and test
site developers in the manufacturing and design of semiconductor
chips.
It is also useful for graduate and undergraduate students in
electrical engineering, semiconductor sciences, and manufacturing
sciences, and on courses involving the design of ESD devices, chips
and systems. This book offers a useful insight into the issues that
confront modern technology as we enter the nano-electronic era.
