基于MEDICI仿真的ESD保护器件设计方法

An ESD Protection Device Simulation-Design Methodology by Using MEDICI

文章讨论了用MEDICI作基于仿真的ESD保护电路设计方法,并以GGNMOS为例,给出了MEDICI仿真结果与实验数据的对照。结果表明此方法是一种有效仿真ESD保护电路在高温高电压大电流下特性的方法,可使ESD保护器件的设计周期缩短,成功率因此大大增加。

In this paper, an ESD protection circuit simulation-design methodology based on MEDICI was discussed. With a GGNMOS as an example, the simulation results were analyzed as compared to the experimental results. And it is testified that this methodology is effective in simulating the ESD performance of the protection device under high temperature and high current conditions. Hence, the design cycle is greatly reduced and the possibility of tape-out success is improved.
