Abstract:The key parameters in the optimization of the Diode Triggered Silicon-Controlled Rectifier (DTSCR) as a RF ESD protection, are the turn-on time and the trigger-voltage overshoots seen before the SCR turns on, during very fast ESD transients [1]. But at this time, there is no normalized method to evaluate and report the ESD device turn-on speed [2]. Such a method would be required to effectively compare device performance. In this work a new method, based on stored-charge, is investigated to characterize the tr… Show more
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.
