On the Analysis, Design, and Modeling of Electrostatic Discharge Protection Devices for Analog and Radio -Frequency Integrated Circuits

Abstract

dc:description

We present a simulator-independent compact model of a vertical npn transistor suitable for ESD circuit simulation. In addition to modeling accurately the high-current and breakdown effects, we also model accurately the small-signal off-state impedance of the device using s-parameter measurements, for inclusion in RF circuit simulations. Experimental results are provided for silicon and SiGe npn transistors.
