Abstract: An electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection device on a semiconductor substrate and a method for making the same. The device has an active region. The active region includes a gate. The active region also includes a source including a silicide portion having a source contact. The active region further includes a drain including a silicide portion having a drain contact. The source and drain each extend away from the gate along a device axis. The drain contact is laterally offset with respect to the source contact along a direction orthogonal to the device axis whereby current flow between the source contact and the drain contact has a lateral component. The device further comprises a non-silicide region located laterally between the drain contact and the source contact.

Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) is disclosed. The IC includes a pin to electrically connect the IC to an external circuit and a transistor that includes a base, a collector and an emitter. The pin is coupled to an internal circuit that is configured to operate in a preselected operating frequency range. The base is coupled to the pin and a resistor is coupled between the base and the pin. The IC further includes an electrostatic discharge (ESD) rail coupled to the pin through a first ESD diode. A second ESD diode is coupled between the floating ESD rail and a power supply to provide a second ESD current sink path.

Abstract: This specification discloses methods for integrating a SiGe-based HBT (heterojunction bipolar transistor) and a Si-based BJT (bipolar junction transistor) together in a single manufacturing process that does not add a lot of process complexity, and an integrated circuit that can be fabricated utilizing such a streamlined manufacturing process. In some embodiments, such an integrated circuit can enjoy both the benefits of a higher RF (radio frequency) performance for the SiGe HBT and a lower leakage current for the Si-based BJT. In some embodiments, such an integrated circuit can be applied to an ESD (electrostatic discharge) clamp circuit, in order to achieve a lower, or no, yield-loss.
