ANTENNA EFFECT

What is antenna effect ?

During fabrication etching is done and in that process the metal areas are exposed to the ionized gases. These are all static charges and leads to the static electric field and results in voltage and if that voltage is greater than the oxide breakdown voltage than it may break the channel between the gate and substrate. This we call as the antenna effect.

How antenna effect can be avoided ?

By layer hopping and by adding the antenna diode.
