A Pad-Oriented Novel Electrostatic Discharge Protection Structure For Mixed-Signal ICs
This paper reports a design of a bonding pad oriented square-shape ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection structure. The novel ESD protection structure provides adequate protection for IC chips against ESD pulses in all directions. The structure features deep snapback symmetric characteristics, low discharging impedance, low holding voltage, and flexible triggering voltage. It passed 14KV HBM...
متن کاملActive Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Device for On-Chip ESD Protection in Sub-Quarter-Micron Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) Process
A novel electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection device with a threshold voltage of 0V for complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) integrated circuits in sub-quarter-micron CMOS technology is proposed. Quite different to the traditional ESD protection devices, such an active ESD device is originally standing in its turn-on state when the IC is zapped under ESD events. Therefore, such an ...
متن کاملElectrostatic Discharge Protection Circuit for High-Speed Mixed-Signal Circuits
ESD, the discharge of electrostatically generated charges into an IC, is one of the most important reliability problems for ultra-scaled devices. This electrostatic charge can generate voltages of up to tens of kilovolts. These very high voltages can generate very high electric fields and currents across semiconductor devices, which may result in dielectric damage or melting of semiconductors a...
متن کاملSubstrate-Triggered SCR Device for On-Chip ESD Protection in Fully Silicided Sub-0.25- m CMOS Process
The turn-on mechanism of a silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) device is essentially a current triggering event. While a current is applied to the base or substrate of the SCR device, it can be quickly triggered into its latching state. In this paper, a novel design concept to turn on the SCR device by applying the substrate-triggered technique is first proposed for effective on-chip electrostat...
متن کاملSCR Device With Double-Triggered Technique for On-Chip ESD Protection in Sub-Quarter-Micron Silicided CMOS Processes
Turn-on efficiency is the main concern for silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) devices used as on-chip electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit, especially in deep sub-quarter-micron CMOS processes with much thinner gate oxide. A novel double-triggered technique is proposed to speed up the turn-on speed of SCR devices for using in on-chip ESD protection circuit to effectively protect the...
