  • Abstract
    We present experimental and simulation studies of STI type DeNMOS devices under ESD conditions. The impact of base-push-out, power dissipation because of space charge build-up and, regenerative NPN action, on the various phases of filamentation and the final thermal runaway is discussed. A modification of the device layout is proposed to achieve an improvement (~2X) in failure threshold (IT2).
