摘要
A test chip to measure electrostatic discharge (ESD) events was designed and fabricated. The structure for the measurement of the pulses was based on a floating-gate field-effect transistor. Experiments showed that the shift of the device characteristics following an ESD event can be used to measure ESD pulse magnitudes down to approximately 60 V.
