Abstract: | This paper deals with the evaluation of a substrate-thinning technique as a way to control the substrate current issues. A test structure has been realized on a Smart Power Technology. Comprehension of the phenomena has been validated thanks to TCAD simulation. This technique was then applied to a commercial IC and the authors show that they succeeded to reduce by one decade the collected current on a victim, although the IC has already been optimized with classical solutions. |
