    Abstract: A method of forming an IC device including a latchup silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) includes forming a mask on a top surface of a substrate, wherein the mask covers a first portion of the substrate and exposes a second portion of the substrate that is located in one of an n-well and a p-well on the substrate; etching the exposed second portion of the substrate to form an etched area; forming a stress engineered junction of the latchup SCR by selective epitaxial deposition in the etched area; and removing the mask.

    Abstract: An electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection device for an integrated circuit includes a buried layer of a first polarity type formed in a substrate of a second polarity type. A well region of the second polarity type is formed above the buried layer. An FET of the first polarity type is formed within the well region. An inner pair of shallow wells of the first polarity type is disposed adjacent to source and drain diffusion regions of the FET, the inner pair of shallow wells having a depth such that a bottom of the inner pair of shallow wells is above a top of the buried layer. An outer pair of deep wells of the first polarity type extends down to the top of the buried layer such that the outer pair of deep wells and the buried layer define a perimeter of the well region of the second polarity type.

    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: A mechanism to monitor an individual's level of stress in his or her home or workplace is provided. Unobtrusive physiologic stress senses are used in combination with a wireless link and a personal computer or other intelligent device to monitor the user's stress level. Based on a user profile and the user's baseline stress indicators, one or more stress-reducing activities are presented to the user. Additionally, if a user is in a stress-sensitive population, for example, persons with a pre-existing hypertension, the user may selectively enable additional alerts.
