Abstract: High-voltage semiconductor devices with electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection and methods of fabrication are provided. The semiconductor devices include a plurality of transistors on a substrate patterned with one or more common gates extending across a portion of the substrate, and a plurality of first S/D contacts and a plurality of second S/D contacts associated with the common gate(s). The second S/D contacts are disposed over a plurality of carrier-doped regions within the substrate. One or more floating nodes are disposed above the substrate and, at least in part, between second S/D contacts to facilitate defining the plurality of carrier-doped regions within the substrate. For instance, the carrier-doped regions may be defined from a mask with a common carrier-region opening, with the floating node(s) intersecting the common carrier-region opening and facilitating defining, along with the common opening, the plurality of separate carrier-doped regions.

Abstract: Various embodiments include fin-type field effect transistor (FinFET) structures. In some cases, a FinFET structure includes: a p-type substrate; a silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) over the p-type substrate, the SCR including: a p-well region and an adjacent n-well region over the substrate; and a negatively charged fin over the p-well region; and a Schottky diode electrically coupled with the SCR, the Schottky diode including a gate in the n-well region, the Schottky diode positioned to mitigate electrostatic discharge (ESD) across the negatively charged fin and the n-well region in response to application of a forward voltage across the gate.

Abstract: An electrostatic discharge (ESD) device for an integrated circuit includes a substrate having a longitudinally extending fin dispose thereon. A first n-type FinFET (NFET) is disposed within the fin. The NFET includes an n-type source, an n-type drain and a p-well disposed within the substrate under the source and drain. A p-type FinFET (PFET) is disposed within the fin. The PFET includes a p-type source/drain region and an n-well disposed within the substrate under the source/drain region. The n-well and p-well are located proximate enough to each other to form an np junction therebetween. The p-type source/drain region of the PFET and the n-type drain of the NFET are electrically connected to a common input node.

Abstract: Three-dimensional electrostatic discharge (ESD) semiconductor devices are fabricated together with three-dimensional non-ESD semiconductor devices. For example, an ESD diode and FinFET are fabricated on the same bulk semiconductor substrate. A spacer merger technique is used in the ESD portion of a substrate to create double-width fins on which the ESD devices can be made larger to handle more current.

Abstract: Methods form integrated circuit structures that include a device layer having electronic devices on a substrate, and a multi-layer interconnect structure connected to the device layer. The multi-layer interconnect structure includes alternating insulator layers and wiring layers, power and ground wiring in the wiring layers, non-functional wiring in the wiring layers called dummy fill, and conductive vias extending through the insulator layers. The conductive vias connect the power and ground wiring in the wiring layers to the electronic devices in the device layer. The non-functional wiring is insulated from the power wiring in the wiring layer, and from the electronic devices in the device layer. The conductive vias connect the non-functional wiring (the dummy fill) in the wiring layers through the substrate, or a ground bus, thereby continuously removing static charge that would otherwise accumulate during manufacturing processes.
