abstract:ggNMOS is an abbreviation for grounded-gate NMOS. A ggNMOS is an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection device used within CMOS integrated circuits (IC).
Based on simulation, the characteristicsandmechanismsoffailure on a deep sub-micron grounded-gate NMOS (GGNMOS) are studiedunderTLP (transmission linepulse) stress.
