    Abstract: A device having a substrate defined with a device region which includes an ESD protection circuit is disclosed. The ESD protection circuit has first and second transistors. A transistor includes a gate having first and second sides, a first diffusion region in the device region adjacent to the first side of the gate, and a second diffusion region in the device region displaced away from the second side of the gate. The first and second diffusion regions include dopants of a first polarity type. The device includes a first device well which encompasses the device region and second device wells which are disposed within the first device well. A well contact is coupled to the second device wells. The well contact surrounds the gates of the transistors and abuts the first diffusion regions of the transistors.

    Abstract: A device which includes a substrate defined with a device region with an ESD protection circuit having at least first and second transistors is disclosed. Each of the transistors includes a gate having first and second sides, a first diffusion region in the device region adjacent to the first side of the gate, a second diffusion region in the device region displaced away from the second side of the gate, and a drift isolation region disposed between the gate and the second diffusion region. A first device well encompasses the device region and a second device well is disposed within the first device well. The device also includes a drift well which encompasses the second diffusion region. Edges of the drift well do not extend below the gate and is away from a channel region. A drain well is disposed under the second diffusion region and within the drift well.

    Abstract: A one-time programmable (OTP) fuse includes a fuse link including a thin film resistor (TFR) layer between a first insulator layer and a second insulator layer. A first terminal of the OTP fuse includes a first conductive pillar through one of the first and second insulator layers and in contact with the TFR layer; and a second terminal of the OTP fuse includes a second conductive pillar through one of the first and second insulator layers and in contact with the TFR layer. The second conductive pillar and the TFR layer have a lateral contact interface having a same shape as an outer portion of the second conductive pillar. The second conductive pillar does not simply land on the TFR layer, but extends through it. Application of a current to the OTP fuse results in programming via rupture of the lateral contact interface (not electromigration in the fuse link).

    Abstract: Integrated circuits (ICs) include electrostatic discharge protection including a transistor having a drain operably coupled to a first rail of the integrated circuit and a source operatively coupled to a second rail of the integrated circuit. A voltage regulating trigger circuit is operatively coupled to the first rail and to a gate of the transistor to turn on of the transistor responsive to an ESD event affecting the integrated circuit, wherein the voltage regulating trigger circuit limits a potential of the first rail to a first potential and a gate potential of the transistor to a second potential, less than the first potential but sufficient to turn the transistor on to conduct current arising from the ESD event from the first rail to the second rail.
