Modeling of High Voltage Devices for ESD Event Simulation

Zhou Y., Salcedo J., Hajjar J.-J., Analog Devices, Inc., US

BCDMOS process technologies are key in enabling highly integrated mixed-signal application for the automotive, medical and industrial sectors. Achieving satisfactory ESD performance in high voltage mixed-signal applications requires synthesized co-design using circuit-level ESD event simulation [...]

Source/Drain Junction Partition in MOS Snapback Modeling for ESD Simulation

Zhou Y., Hajjar J.-J., Analog Devices, Inc., US

A new enhancement on modeling ‘snapback’ in MOS transistors for ESD simulation is presented. The model uses standard industry models only and intrinsically includes all major physical effects in snapback. An ESD snapback MOS model [...]
