Abstract

The inductance of the on-die interconnection lines may cause voltage resonant effects under electrostatic discharge (ESD) stress. The phase difference of the resonating oscillations along different ESD current flow paths creates a significant local momentary voltage. Information on this inductance enables designers to take into consideration these voltage resonant effects in ESD protection design.
