Dynamic latchup study using transmission line pulses and picosecond imaging circuit analysis

In this work we present a methodology based on the combination of Transmission Line Pulses (TLP) stimulation and Picosecond Imaging Circuit Analysis (PICA) for studying the dynamic onset of latchup. A mathematical model based on carrier recombination equations is also discussed and shows to be in very good agreement with experimental data. ©2004 IEEE.
