A Study of a Measurement and Simulation Method on ESD Noise Causing Soft-Errors by Disturbing Signals

Abstract

A methodology to measure and simulate ESD induced noise on active IC Pins is introduced. A simple experimental setup injects ESD noise from an ESD generator and captures the waveforms. Secondly, the waveforms are simulated using a combination of 3D simulation and SPICE modeling.
