Description Electrostatic discharge (ESD) investigations on the multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are performed for the first time. A novel ESD failure mechanism of subsequent shell burning has been discovered. By using nanosecond pulse measurements, a new insight into metal-to-carbon nanotube (CNT) contact behavior could be achieved. Clear signature of two very different conduction mechanisms and related failure types at high current injection has been found. By determining the time to failure, an Arrhenius-like relation was extracted, which was explained by the oxidation of CNT shells. Finally, an extraordinary ESD failure current density of MWCNT of 1.2 x 10(9) A/cm(2) could be shown.
