    摘要: Method for bond pad crater jeopardy identification in integrated circuits, and apparatus which performs the method. The gate or gates of a transistor or transistors of an ESD device are formed under each bond pad in the integrated circuit device. Connected to the transistor is circuitry for determimg the electrical, and hence mechanical, integrity of the transistor. A reduction in current through the transistor, by reason of microcrack formation in the several layers under the transistor causing a gate or gates of the transistor to crack and fail, may detected, Location of at least a portion of the ESD device, for example the above transistor, reduces overall chip area by increasing device density.

    摘要: An ESD protection device is provided for an integrated circuit. The ESD protection device includes a power supply clamp device formed from a diode and coupled between a first power supply VCC and a second power supply VSS. An input protection device is also provided which is formed from a diode coupled between an input pad and the first power supply and a second diode coupled between the input pad and a second power supply. The diodes have an adjusted reverse breakdown voltage that is higher than the voltage supply VCC used to power the peripheral circuitry that drives circuitry within a core of the integrated circuit. The adjusted reverse breakdown voltage is also lower than the breakdown voltage of gate oxide layers used within the peripheral circuitry.

    摘要: One aspect of the present invention provides a process for forming IC devices with ESD protection transistors. According to one aspect of the invention, an ESD protection transistor is provided with a light doping and then, after forming spacers, a heavy doping. The heavy doping with spacers in place can lower the sheet resistance, enhance the bipolar effect for the transistor, reduce the transistor's capacitance, and reduce the junction breakdown voltage, all without causing short channel effects. The invention thereby provides ESD protection transistors that are compact, highly sensitive, and fast-switching. The spacers can be formed at the same time as spacers for other transistors, such as other transistors in a peripheral region of the device.
