This paper demonstrates a fully-silicided ESD protection device design in sub-100nm integrated circuits. No drain ballast resistor required is the most significant feature that makes the new device differ form the conventional ones. Accordingly, a simplified manufacturing process and a reduced device area could be obtained simultaneously. It is believed that the achievements are caused from the...

Background and Purpose: Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is a mechanism to educate people make awareness toward sustainable development aims develop competencies that enable empower individuals reflect on their actions. Although efforts cultivate ESD have been implemented, government initiatives are still inadequate as the issues, perspectives skills integrate into various curriculum...

This report describes a method for estimating the separation degree at the bunsetsu boundary (SD) for Japanese text-to-speech synthesis. Our method gives us the prosodic symbol without using complicated linguistic analysis. First we classify bunsetsus according to the nal morpheme. Each classi ed bunsetsu has a temporary separation degree in advance. We call this \the estimated separation degre...

Proliferation of flexible, wearable and portable electronics come with new challenges system reliability. Particularly, flexible cause more frequent are susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) effects electrostatic discharge (ESD) failures, have unique requirements for design-for-reliability (DfR) associated EMI ESD immunity achieve compatibility (EMC) compliance. This paper outlines ...

Capacitor-couple technique used to lower snapbacktrigger voltage and to ensure uniform ESD current distribution in deep-submicron CMOS on-chip ESD protection circuit is proposed. The coupling capacitor is realized by a poly layer right under the wire-bonding metal pad without increasing extra layout area to the pad. A timing-original design model has been derived to calculate the capacitor-coup...

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection devices can have an adverse effect on the performance of high frequency and RF circuits. This work presents for the first time, an s-parameter based analysis of the performance of RF circuits with various ESD protection designs. Additionally, a design methodology for distributed ESD protection using coplanar waveguides is developed to achieve a better im...

To effectively protect the cross-power-domain interface circuits from electrostatic discharge (ESD) damages, a PMOS-based local ESD clamp was proposed in this work. The test circuits of prior and proposed designs have been implemented in silicon chip. The proposed design has the small chip area, low leakage current, and low peak transient voltage; therefore, it can help to reduce the overstress...

The integrated circuit (IC) industry has been using transmission-line pulse (TLP) testing to characterize on-chip electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection structures since 1985. This TLP ESD testing technique was introduced by Maloney and Khurana as a new electrical analysis tool to test the many single elements used as ESD protection structures. Since then, the technique has been shown to be m...
