    摘要: An electrostatic discharge protection device, methods of fabricating an electrostatic discharge protection device, and design structures for an electrostatic discharge protection device. A drain of a first field-effect transistor and a diffusion resistor of higher electrical resistance may be formed as different portions of a doped region. The diffusion resistor, which is directly coupled with the drain of the first field-effect transistor, may be defined using an isolation region of dielectric material disposed in the doped region and selective silicide formation. The electrostatic discharge protection device may also include a second field-effect transistor having a drain as a portion the doped region that is directly coupled with the diffusion resistor and indirectly coupled by the diffusion resistor with the drain of the first field-effect transistor.

    摘要: Disclosed are embodiments of a self-protected electrostatic discharge field effect transistor (SPESDFET). In the SPESDFET embodiments, a resistance region is positioned laterally between two discrete sections of a deep source/drain region: a first section that is adjacent to the channel region and a second section that is contacted. The second section of the deep source/drain region is silicided, but the first section adjacent to the channel region and the resistance region are non-silicided. Additionally, the gate structure can be either silicided or non-silicided. With such a configuration, the disclosed SPESDFET provides robust ESD protection without consuming additional area and without altering the basic FET design (e.g., without increasing the distance between the deep source/drain regions and the channel region). Also disclosed are embodiments of integrated circuit that incorporates the SPESDFET as an input/output (I/O) pad driver and method embodiments for forming the SPESDFET and the integrated circuit.

    摘要: An electronic discharge (ESD) protection circuit for protecting an integrated circuit chip from an ESD event. The ESD protection circuit includes a stack of BigFETs, a BigFET gate driver for driving the gates of the BigFETs and a triggering the BigFET gate driver to drive the gates of the BigFETs in response to an ESD event. The BigFET gate driver includes gate pull-up circuitry for pulling up the gate of a lower one of the BigFETs. The gate pull-up circuitry is configured so as to obviate the need for a diffusion contact between the stacked BigFETs, resulting in a significant savings in terms of the chip area needed to implement the ESD protection circuit.
