"This research proposal presents a methodology whereby a protection device can be modeled in SPICE compatible platforms with respect to the transient behaviors during Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) events. This methodology uses an exclusively "black-box" approach to characterize the parameters of the protection device, thereby allowing it to be implemented without intimate knowledge of the DUT. Results of this methodology can be used to predict the transient response (conductivity modulation and snapback delay) of the ESD protection devices, and thereby predicts how much current could flow into the device (typically a digital IO pin) under protection. The transient behavior modeling methodology …
