High Current ESD: Physics and Design

Covering a wide spectrum of semiconductor technologies, this book o?ers comprehensive description of the physics of electrostatic discharge (ESD) phenomena that incorporate and lead to robust on-chip protection design practices.Starting with fundamental insights into high-current ESD behavior in semiconductor devices, it gradually builds toward practical design principles and real-world reliability challenges in advanced complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS), ?n ?eld-e?ect transistor (FinFETs), gallium nitride high-electron-mobility transistors (GaN HEMTs), carbon nanostructures, and thin ?lm transistor (TFT) technologies.Device-level physics and practical design implications are explored throughout, bridging the gap between deep theoretical understanding and real-world design constraints.Including unique simulation techniques alongside experimental results, this book thoroughly explores core ESD design principles.With multiple curated case studies, this book will equip reader
