Description
Summary:In this work, the transient electrical-thermal response of a simple ESD protection circuit to excessive current during an electrostatic discharge (ESD) event is investigated numerically, using 3-D finite element analysis (FEA). The 3-D transient temperature distribution in the circuit can be revealed and the fusing phenomenon of interconnection is captured during the ESD process using human body model (HBM). The method in this work provides a quantitative approach to study the ESD damaging process in the future.
