Abstract :
The thermal response of the GMR sensor during the ESD pulse is investigated using finite element model. The simulation compares the transient temperature rise in GMR sensor when they are subjected to the Human Body Model (HBM) and Charged-Device Model (CDM) waveforms. The results indicate that the ESD threshold damage for GMR head depends on both the thermal time constant and the ESD transient current.
