A New Method to Correlate Human Body Model and Transmission Line Pulse Based on RC Thermal Equivalent Model

This work proposes a new method to estimate the correlation between human body model (HBM) and transmission line pulse (TLP) based on RC thermal equivalent model to obtain the normalized critical temperature. Gate-grounded nMOS (ggnMOS) devices with uniform current distribution are used to verify the proposed equivalent equations. Further, the detailed discussion for the distinction between frequently used energy equivalence and the proposed equivalent method is compared. In addition, correlation factor (CF) between HBM and TLP is also analyzed and summarized.
