Cell-level electrostatic discharge protection for an integrated circuit

Cell-level electrostatic discharge protection for an integrated circuit

A method of evaluating a layout cell for electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection can include identifying at least one feature of the layout cell for use in implementing an integrated circuit (IC) and comparing the at least one feature of the layout cell to an ESD requirement for the IC. The method...

Zusammenfassung:A method of evaluating a layout cell for electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection can include identifying at least one feature of the layout cell for use in implementing an integrated circuit (IC) and comparing the at least one feature of the layout cell to an ESD requirement for the IC. The method can include indicating whether the feature of the layout cell complies with the ESD requirement.
