Hi..

How the addition of dummy transistors reduce Antenna Effect ??

can anyone elaborate this ??
 

thank you Yadavvlsi.

i read that if we use dummy transistors to reduce Antenna Effect, "Reverse Antenna Effect" will occur.

What is Reverse Antenna Effect ?? How its differ from Antenna Effect ???
 

I realize there may be a large E-field in the plasma process and the gate impedance is high making it susceptible to breakdown.

However I believe the name "Antenna Effect" is a misnomer and better described as a "charge generator" effect and thus anti- means discharge.

Click to expand...

E.g. in an array, where you have dummy transistors at the edges to keep a consistent environment for the inner active transistors. In such case you can use a dummy transistor as a gate diode against antenna violation. Otherwise a standard diode will do the job.
