ABSTRACT:
A system for measuring electrostatic discharge (ESD) characteristics of a semiconductor device that comprises at least one pulse generator generating ESD-scale pulses, a first point of the semiconductor device receiving a first ESD-scale pulse from the at least one pulse generator, a second point of the semiconductor device receiving the first ESD-scale pulse from the at least one pulse generator, at least a third point of the semiconductor device receiving a second ESD-scale pulse from the at least one pulse generator, and a data collector to collect data on the ESD characteristics of the semiconductor device.
