Abstract

A simulation approach and analysis method was studied that allows to address a class of ESD fails caused by an unfavorable setup of the chip supply concept and I/O cell ring. The high-complexity of chip-level ESD networks was handled with a Monte-Carlo like permutational approach. The integration of this method in the chip concept engineering and design flow was also discussed. The simulation method is able to predict critical ESD stress pin combinations and ESD fail positions even in complex digital and mixed signal designs.
