Abstract:
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) continues to be pervasive reliability threat for the IC and electronic technologies. For safe and reliable function of the chips due to human handling, from robotic machine contact, or even in a system board environment, ESD protection at every IC pin is a necessary requirement. The IC pin protection is an advanced art since it should take care of ESD without having an impact on the circuit operation.
This seminar will first outline the industry methods for simulating ESD stress, followed by a description of the protection device concepts along with the associated device physics. The presentation will then address the challenges compounded by the advanced
silicon technology scaling into the nanometer range combined with complex circuit applications such as high density DSP's and the System on Chip (SoC). ESD device and design modeling and simulation techniques are also reviewed to illustrate the challenging research opportunities. Finally, the overall outlook for future ESD
will be summarized.
Biography:
Charvaka Duvvury is a Texas Instruments Fellow working in the Silicon Technology
Department of TI at Dallas. He has a Ph.D. in Engineering Science from the University of Toledo and worked as a Post Doc in Physics at the University of Alberta. He has been with TI since 1977 and has worked on several areas of the semiconductor field that include DRAM circuit design, transistor modeling, and transistor reliability.
His field of expertise is Electrostatic Discharge or ESD where he made numerous pioneering contributions in protection design for IC pins. He has made several invited presentations on ESD at international conferences and universities, and is currently the course organizer for the UC Berkeley class in ESD. Dr. Duvvury has published more than 80 papers, co-authored 3 books, and holds more than 50 patents. He is recipient of several Best Paper awards in ESD and the Outstanding Mentor Award from SRC. He
has mentored graduate research in ESD at Clarkson University, University of Illinois, UC Berkeley, and Stanford. Dr. Duvvury is currently a member of the Board of Directors of the ESD Association and actively promotes university research in this field.
