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
A proposed method for failure analysis and debugging of electrostatic discharge protection in VLSI circuits is presented, based on low-energy non-destructive emulation of real ESD stress. It allows on-die current and voltage measurements during stress, providing a direct and clear conclusion about the proper functioning of the protection method, or a reason for failure
