A Novel Method for ESD Soft Error Analysis on Integrated Circuits using a TEM Cell

Abstract

The ultimate goal of this work is to predict ESD system level behavior. A methodology which can evaluate the IC immunity in terms of ESD-induced soft error is introduced. A modified TEM cell and a simple test board with a memory IC are designed for this purpose. The correlation between product level ESD standard test and the proposed IC immunity test is discussed.
