Current Research Interests:

What is ESD? How does it affect IC design? Why is it part of our research program?

ICs, people and equipment routinely acquire charge (recall the concept of electron affinity). When a charged object contacts (or approaches) a grounded conductor, the charge is dissipated. Electrostatic discharge ("ESD") can direct several amperes of current into a nano-scale integrated circuit (IC) whose transistors are designed to carry only micro- or milli- amperes of current. Thermal breakdown will occur almost instantly if the current is not shunted away from the transistors. We strive to create protection devices that are compatible with the semiconductor process and that turn on rapidly, so as to safely shunt the ESD current away from the fragile transistors. Protection devices placed at IO pins introduce capacitive loading, which may compromise the circuit performance. It is therefore desirable to design IO circuits to have intrinsic robustness against ESD and to develop protection devices that have very low capacitance. Given the high cost of fabricating chips in a modern process and the increasing design time, it is desired that an IC passes qualification testing -- re: functionality and reliability -- on the first silicon spin. This requires that the component be simulated prior to fabrication. Tools and models for simulating reliability are less mature than those used to verify timing, analog functionality, etc. Models created for the protection devices and the ESD sources need to strike a balance between physical rigor and computational efficiency. Verifying that a  model correctly replicates a device's response to ESD is challenging because the test and measurement equipment typically used to characterize semiconductor devices does not produce pulses of sufficiently high power and short duration. An ESD engineer often must design a custom measurement setup.

We conduct research on ESD because it is a serious, pervasive and unavoidable reliability hazard and because it lets us solve challenging problems at the intersection of semiconductor devices, IC design and EDA.

Biography:

Elyse Rosenbaum is the Melvin and Anne Louise Hassebrock Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She received the B.S. degree (with distinction) from Cornell University, the M.S. degree from Stanford University, and the Ph.D. degree from University of California, Berkeley in 1992, all in electrical engineering. From 1984 through 1987, she was a Member of Technical Staff at AT&T Bell Laboratories in Holmdel, NJ. She is the director of the NSF-supported Center for Advanced Electronics through Machine Learning (CAEML), a joint project of the University of Illinois, North Carolina State University and Penn State University.

Dr. Rosenbaum has authored or co-authored approximately 200 technical papers; she has been an editor for IEEE Transactions on Device and Materials Reliability and IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices. She was the General Chair for the 2018 IEEE International Reliability Physics Symposium. She was the recipient of a Best Student Paper Award from the IEDM, Outstanding and Best Paper Awards from the EOS/ESD Symposium, a Technical Excellence Award from the SRC, an NSF CAREER award, an IBM Faculty Award, and the ESD Association’s Industry Pioneer Recognition Award. She is a Fellow of the IEEE.


Prospective Students:

I supervise graduate student researchers, and I welcome inquiries from prospective students with relevant experience and strong academic records. On occasion, I will also agree to supervise an undergraduate researcher; this opportunity is restricted to students enrolled at UIUC and is generally done in the context of senior thesis research. I am not able to sponsor students from international universities for summer internships and will not respond to email requests for such sponsorship.
