TLP IV Characterization of a 40 Nm CMOS IO Protection Concept in the Powered State

Abstract

In this paper, the interaction between the ESD protection concept and a powered output driver in a 40 nm CMOS process are investigated and characterized by TLP. By using IO test chips designed for HBM and CDM validation, the IV behavior of the pin is measured with the driver placed into various states.
