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.

why we go for "Transistor as diode" while we have actual diode. ????
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.
