Abstract
In this work, quasi-static and non-quasi-static compact models for ESD diode switching transients are presented and investigated. It is demonstrated that the non-quasi-static model can accurately capture both forward transients and reverse transients while the quasi-static model fails to do so. TCAD simulation is performed to elucidate the physical origin of small discrepancies between circuit simulations and measurement data. Based on the results of the TCAD simulation, a further enhanced non-quasi-static model is proposed and demonstrated to capture the transients very well.
