  • Abstract
    Design tools for ESD are described that ensure robust protection at both the cell and chip level in a high-volume, highly automated ASIC design system. There are three primary components: Design Rule Checking (DRC) for ESD; transient CDM simulations on extracted netlists; and analysis of chip-level power supply net resistances.
