The electrostatic discharge detonating gas simulation experiment system based on Nios II is developed in this paper.This system uses flexible and highly efficient SOPC technology,which embeds many functional modules.The system can simulate the mine gas environment, measure the oxygen, temperature and the gas concentration that most likely detonating gas, and real-time display in the LED screen, so as to obtain important data of gas explosion in coal environmental, which provide theoretical and experimental basis for farmulating standards of electrostatic security of human body and the safety of production in coal mine. It can conduct a series of experiments about electrostatic discharge of human body detonating gas mixture.

Abstract This paper outlines the systematic isolation of an electrostatic discharge defect on a depletion-mode FET. Topics covered are fault isolation, FIB-STEM cross-section and EDS analysis, and defect simulation. Multiple GaAs PA devices were submitted for analysis after failing different reliability stresses. Fault isolation revealed ESD damage on a DFET connected to the VMODE0 pin. Simulation of the failure showed that, most likely, the defect was caused by CDM stress. A design change of inserting a resistor between the VMODE0 pin and the DFET made the device more robust against CDM stress.

Abstract Over the years, failures induced by an electrostatic discharge (ESD) have become a major concern for semiconductor manufacturers and electronic equipment makers. The ESD events that cause destructive failures have been studied extensively [1, 2]. However, not all ESD events cause permanent damage. Some events lead to recoverable failures that disrupt system functionality only temporarily (e.g. reboot, lockup, and loss of data). These recoverable failures are not as well understood as the ones causing permanent damage and tend to be ignored in the ESD literature [3, 4]. This paper analyzes and characterizes how these recoverable failures affect computer systems. An experimental methodology is developed to characterize the sensitivity of motherboards to ESD by simulating the systemlevel ESD events induced by computer users. The manuscript presents a case study where this methodology was used to evaluate the robustness of desktop computers to ESD. The method helped isolate several weak nets contributing to the failures and identified a design improvement. The result was that the robustness of the systems improved by a factor of 2.

Abstract In this work, we present new results concerning electrostatic discharge (ESD) robustness of 0.6 μm CMOS structures. Devices have been tested according to both HBM and socketed CDM (sCDM) ESD test procedures. Test structures have been submitted to a complete characterization consisting in: 1) measurement of the tum-on time of the protection structures submitted to pulses with very fast rise times; 2) ESD stress test with the HBM and sCDM models; 3) failure analysis based on emission microscopy (EMMI) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).
