Gate-grounded tunnel field effect transistors (ggTFETs) are considered as basic electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection devices in TFET-integrated circuits. ESD test method of transmission line pulse is used to deeply analyze the current characteristics and working mechanism of Conventional TFET ESD impact. On this basis, a SiGe Source/Drain PNN (P+N+N+) tunnel field effect transistors (TFET) was proposed, which was simulated by Sentaurus technology computer aided design (TCAD) software. Simulation results showed that the trigger voltage of SiGe PNN TFET was 46.3% lower, and the failure current was 13.3% higher than Conventional TFET. After analyzing the simulation results, the parameters of the SiGe PNN TFET were optimized. The single current path of the SiGe PNN TFET was analyzed and explained in the case of gate grounding.

The technical paper discusses the reduction of high leakage current failures of semiconductor IC (integrated circuit) packages by eliminating the ESD (electrostatic discharge) events during assembly process and ensuring the appropriate machine grounding and ESD controls.  It is imperative to reduce or ideally eliminate the leakage current failures of the device to ensure the product quality, especially as the market becomes more challenging and demanding.  After implementation of the corrective and improvement actions, high leakage current occurrence was reduced from baseline of 5784 ppm to 1567 ppm, better than the six sigma goal of 4715 ppm.
