    Abstract: The invention provides a semiconductor device. The semiconductor device includes a fin field effect transistor (finFET) array including finFET units. Each of the finFET units includes a substrate having a fin along a first direction. A first metal strip pattern and a second metal strip pattern are formed on the fin, extending along a second direction that is different from the first direction. The first and second metal strip patterns are conformally formed on opposite sidewalls and a top surface of the fin, respectively. A first contact and a second contact are formed on the fin. The first and second metal strip patterns are disposed between the first and second contacts. A first dummy contact is formed on the fin, sandwiched between the first and second metal strip patterns.

    Abstract: An electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit has an ESD detection circuit, an ESD clamp circuit, and a leakage current reduction circuit. The ESD detection circuit generates an ESD trigger signal when an ESD event is detected in a normal mode. The ESD clamp circuit has a first transistor and a second transistor. The first transistor has a first connection terminal coupled to a first power rail, a control terminal, and a second connection terminal. A bias voltage is supplied to the control terminal of the first transistor in the normal mode. The second transistor has a first connection terminal coupled to the second connection terminal of the first transistor, a control terminal, and a second connection terminal coupled to a second power rail. The ESD trigger signal is transmitted to the control terminal of the second transistor. The leakage current reduction circuit provides the bias voltage to the first transistor.
