Concern of connecting thin-oxide device to ground/power
Jul 15th, 2010, 9:51am
 
In sub-130nm process, tsmc requested to use tie-high tie-low for soft connection to power/gnd bus.

Not sure what kind of issue is getting worried? CDM, HBM, or CMP during manufacturing?

They are worried about all three.  Also, overvoltages due to current faults on the supply are possible.  The tie cells are small, go ahead and use them!
