  • Publication number: 20210215749
    Abstract: An event-recording circuit for recording electrical events experienced by an internal circuit in a semiconductor device is disclosed. The event-recording circuit is coupled to the internal circuit via a spark gap circuit. The spark gap circuit includes one or more encapsulated air-gap structures that are fabricated using a process flow that matches, or is adapted from, a process flow used in fabricating the semiconductor device. The event-recording circuit further includes a recording device that has an electrical property that is changed by a signal passed by the spark gap circuit, such as an ESD or EOS signal. Accordingly, a test may be performed to determine the presence, and in some cases the extent, of the change to the electrical property in a failure analysis of the semiconductor device.
