Antenna effect

In the last article, we discussed the antenna violation. How do antenna violations occur, and what is the mechanism to occur antenna effect or Plasma Induced Gate oxide damage. So in this article, we will discuss the solution part of the antenna effect, which is how to prevent the antenna violations. How to prevent antenna … Read more

Gate Oxide of a MOS transistor is the most sensitive part of a MOS device. Special care needs to be taken during fabrication of ASIC to protect it from any damages during fabrication steps and ASIC operation too. The antenna effect is a phenomenon that may cause damage to the gate oxide of MOS during … Read more
