This paper describes a constant impedance transmission line pulse system with new measurement capabilities and improved accuracy. The paper enforces a broader look at transmission line pulse (TLP) data, beyond the-curves. Accurate TLP measurements and actual TLP/HBM device data are used to demonstrate effects and HBM/TLP correlation and miscorrelation. Finally, a calibration method and standard TLP test method are presented for adaptation by the industry. This is necessary to provide correlation and repeatability of experimental data.
In this work, we demonstrate that both capacitance and inductance must be the central parameters associated with the Charged Device Model (CDM) waveform verification modules. We also propose a change from the previously used FR-4 dielectric material substrate to a more stable Alumina. This improves waveform repeatability and will lead to better correlation of test results. This paper completes the groundwork for a full ESDA CDM device testing standard.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
