Outline of Final Research Achievements

For shorter development period and cost savings in electronic equipment development process, ESD stress simulation technology for countermeasure to breakdowns and malfunctions caused by ESD on the development process is needed strongly.
Therefore, in this study, circuit simulation technology which can consider the response characteristics of ESD protection devices had been developed. This methods can measure characteristics of ESD protection devices by vector network analyzer and can simulate system-level ESD stress with ESD protection device on radio frequency electrical circuit simulator.
We had also improved precision of the modeling method. This method realized that the characteristics between the different ESD protection devices with quite similar specification could be expressed by our modeling method.
