Electrostatic Discharges (ESD) is a major reliability concern for semiconductor companies. To prevent the ICs from failures caused by ESD events, on-chip ESD protections concepts are implemented. With the down-scaling of the CMOS technologies, the boundary conditions defined by application and process is getting extremely challenging for the conception of robust protection elements. In this work the emerging issues of the thin oxide failures due to ESD is addressed. The work contributes also to the understanding of thin oxide dielectrics and device reliability degradation mechanisms under ESD events. A new characterization approach for thin gate oxides under short pulse stresses (down to 20 ns) is introduced; it allows complete modeling of ...
