Abstract:
There is set forth herein a field effect transistor (FET) configured as an ESD protection device. In one embodiment, the FET can be configured to operate in a snapback operating mode. The FET can include a semiconductor substrate, a gate formed on the substrate and a dummy gate formed on the substrate spaced apart from the gate.
