Abstract

An experimental study of transient latchup is conducted. Measurements are performed on test structures fabricated in 90-nm and 130-nm CMOS technologies. The worst case testing conditions differ for static and transient latchup. Device simulation is used to understand the measurement results. P-well and N-well guard rings are evaluated under transient test conditions.
