We are proud to carry on the tradition of sharing Banana Skins for the purpose of promoting education for EMI/EMC engineers.

TCAD simulation can identify ESD relevant effects and the internal operation of a device under ESD stress conditions that are not generally accessible through conventional measurement techniques. TCAD simulation can help to reduce IC and device design cycle times, resulting in the more timely introduction of innovative products to market.

Let’s look at some examples of potential model deficiencies.

Should I use the pin combinations in Table 2A or Table 2B per Human Body Model (HBM) standard JS-001?

ESD models may be used for simulating on-chip integrated circuits or system (board) level circuits with discrete electronic components like diodes, TVS devices, and bipolar junction transistors (BJTs).
