Electrostatic Discharge Protection and Measurement Techniques for Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits

In this research, ESD measurement techniques are also addressed. Two conventional ESD measurement systems are modified to improve the measurement capability for RF circuit characterization. One of the new measurement systems is capable of detecting ESD failures in RF circuits with an improved sensitivity. The second new measurement system has a significantly higher measurement bandwidth and dynamic range, improving the characterization ESD protection devices used to protect against very fast ESD events.
