    Abstract: Structures for laterally-diffused metal-oxide-semiconductor devices and drain-extended metal-oxide-semiconductor devices, as well as methods of forming laterally-diffused metal-oxide-semiconductor devices and drain-extended metal-oxide-semiconductor devices. A gate electrode is arranged to extend about a semiconductor fin projecting from a substrate. A drain region is arranged in the substrate, and a source region is coupled with the semiconductor fin. The source region is arranged over the semiconductor fin. A drift region is arranged in the substrate between the drain region and the semiconductor fin. The drain region, source region, and drift region have a given conductivity type. The drift region has a lower electrical conductivity than the drain region.

    Abstract: Disclosed is an integrated circuit (IC) structure that incorporates a string of vertical devices. Embodiments of the IC structure include a string of two or more vertical diodes. Other embodiments include a vertical diode/silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) string and, more particularly, a diode-triggered silicon-controlled rectifier (VDTSCR). In any case, each embodiment of the IC structure includes an N-well in a substrate and, within that N-well, a P-doped region and an N-doped region that abuts the P-doped region. The P-doped region can be anode of a vertical diode and can be electrically connected to the N-doped region (e.g., by a local interconnect or by contacts and metal wiring) such that the vertical diode is electrically connected to another vertical device (e.g., another vertical diode or a SCR with vertically-oriented features). Also disclosed is a manufacturing method that can be integrated with methods of manufacturing vertical field effect transistors (VFETs).

    Abstract: Field effect diode structures utilize a junction structure that has an L-shape in cross-section (a fin extending from a planar portion). An anode is positioned at the top surface of the fin, and a cathode is positioned at the end surface of the planar portion. The perpendicularity of the fin and the planar portion cause the anode and cathode to be perpendicular to one another. A first gate insulator contacts the fin between the top surface and the planar portion. A first gate conductor contacts the first gate insulator, and the first gate insulator is between the first gate conductor and the surface of the fin. Additionally, a second gate insulator contacts the planar portion between the end surface and the fin. A second gate conductor contacts the second gate insulator, and the second gate insulator is between the second gate conductor and the surface of the planar portion.

    Abstract: Circuits and methods of fabricating circuits that provide electrostatic discharge protection, as well as methods of protecting an integrated circuit from electrostatic discharge. The protection circuit may include a power clamp device, a timing circuit including a resistor and a capacitor that is coupled with the resistor at a node, and a power clamp device coupled with the timing circuit at the node. The capacitor includes a plurality of capacitor elements. The protection circuit further includes a plurality of electronic fuses. Each electronic fuse is coupled with a respective one of the capacitor elements. A field effect transistor may be coupled in parallel with the resistor of the timing circuit, and may be used to bypass the resistor to provide a programming current to any electronic fuse coupled with a capacitor element of abnormally low impedance.
