Abstract

Two-dimensional device simulation is used to accurately predict both static and dynamic triggering conditions for CMOS latchup. Excellent agreement is obtained with experimental results for static trigger currents that cannot be modeled using lumped element approaches. For the first time, full transient two-dimensional simulation is performed to obtain a dynamic triggering threshold.
