  • Abstract
    This paper describes a new full-chip CDM ESD verification method that enables the evaluation of complete integrated circuits (ICs) for CDM risk. We demonstrate that a robust analysis must comprehend millions of locations of driver-receiver (D/R) pairs on an IC, an accurate model of the grid resistance and an adequate representation of the CDM current distribution.
