We developed the methods of IV characteristic, nano transient current and transient resistance from basic theory and evaluated the implements. Consequently, almost all the carbon molecules mixed implements are characterized by linearity, resistance, surface potential and breakdown. Also, the suitable resistance of conductive implements can be derived from the excessive mobile charge criteria. At present, almost all the implements cannot guard devices against the charged device model event. However, the theory and methods will derive the suitable and realizable resistance for implement and device makers.","PeriodicalId":302866,"journal":{"name":"2004 Electrical Overstress/Electrostatic Discharge Symposium","volume":"270 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126056312","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These models will help optimising the ESD robust I/O cells, which use 90 nm MOSFET devices as I/O drivers and ESD structures.","PeriodicalId":302866,"journal":{"name":"2004 Electrical Overstress/Electrostatic Discharge Symposium","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128256513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
