A Low-Leakage Digital Foundation for SkyWater 90nm SoCs: Introducing Certus’ Standard Cell Library
As semiconductor designs continue to diversify, many successful products are not chasing the most advanced process nodes. Instead, they prioritize power efficiency, reliability, and long-term availability.
Field Induced CDM Explained
Integrated circuits are commonly tested for ESD robustness with 2 tests, Human Body Model (HBM) and Charged Device Model (CDM). Most engineers quickly grasp the procedure for HBM, but the CDM test is often poorly understood. This is unfortunate, because a large fraction of the ESD failures experienced in modern board assembly operations are CDM type failures. This article will describe the events which occur during a CDM test conducted using the widely accepted field induced CDM (FCDM) test.
