Abstract :
This paper evaluates the high current performance of several devices in 0.13µm CMOS process as function of layout parameters using transmission line pulse (TLP) technique. Devices characterized include GGNMOS, PMOS, STI bounded diodes, Polysilicon bounded diodes, N+ contact, Cu metal line and via.
