ESD Design and Analysis by Drain Electrode-Embedded Horizontal Schottky Elements for HV nLDMOSs

Prediction of piezometric surfaces and drain spacing for horizontal drain design

Horizontal drains, used independently or as part of a more complex remediation scheme, are frequently installed to mitigate the effects of increased groundwater in slope stabilization projects. Due to a general trial and error approach to their design, the need for improved design practices has been recognized. The procedures established by Crenshaw and Santi in 2004 made some advances in this ...

Advanced Simulation for ESD Protection Elements

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) failure is one of the most important causes of reliability problems, therefore the design and optimization of ESD devices have to be done. To achieve very short time to market and reduce the development effort, one tries to make use of the benefit of simulation tools. However, due to the complex physical mechanism of ESD events and the hard mathematic calculation i...

Low temperature MOSFET technology with Schottky barrier source/drain, high-K gate dielectric and metal gate electrode

Both Pand N-channel MOSFETs with Schottky barrier silicide source/drain (S/D), high-K gate dielectric and metal gate were successfully fabricated using a simplified low temperature process. The highest temperature after the high-K dielectric formation is 420 C. PMOSFETs with PtSi S/D show excellent electrical performance of an Ion=Ioff 10 10 and a subthreshold slope of 66 mV/dec, similar to tho...

HV Substation Earthing Design for Mines

-High Voltage (HV) substation forms important assets for the mining industries. The existences of these substations necessitate earthing design to ensure safety compliance to the mine regulations. The HV system within the mines is consisted of multiple substations which are connected throughout and underground cable. These substations provide the load with the required electrical power to perfo...
