Abstract:An approach to screening of ICs and discrete transistors for ESD susceptibility is discussed. Procedures are proposed for comparing transistor batches in terms of reliability and for identifying items of unusual reliability among conforming ones in an IC batch, using annealing of ESD-induced faults.
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.
