    摘要: An ensemble of test structures comprising arrays of polysilicon plate MOS capacitors for the measurement of electrical quality of the MOSFET gate insulation is described. The test structures also measure plasma damage to these gate insulators incurred during metal etching and plasma ashing of photoresist. The structures are formed, either on test wafers or in designated areas of wafers containing integrated circuit chips. One of the test structures is designed primarily to minimize plasma damage so that oxide quality, and defect densities may be measured unhampered by interface traps created by plasma exposure. Other structures provide different antenna-to-oxide area ratios, useful for assessing plasma induced oxide damage and breakdown. The current-voltage characteristics of the MOS capacitors are measured by probing the structures on the wafer, thereby providing timely process monitoring capability.

    摘要: A novel device and process is described for an ESD protection device for complimentary cascaded NMOS output circuit strings. The invention consists of a clamping NMOS with gate connected to the input or output pad through a diode and connected to ground through a resistor. The clamping device drain is connected to the signal gate of the active output NMOS and the clamping device source is connected to ground. An ESD event causes the diode to go into breakdown mode and the conduction current across the resistor places a positive voltage on the clamping device gate turning the clamping device on. This clamps the active NMOS signal gate to ground assuring that the output NMOS remains in an off condition during the ESD event. This prevents any damage due to high current flow through the active, or used output inverter string.

A dummy PMOS transistor has the source and the gate connected to the voltage supply, and the drain connected to the output pad. A driver NMOS cascaded stack comprises first and second NMOS transistors. The first NMOS transistor has the source connected to ground and the gate connected to the input signal. The second NMOS transistor has the gate connected to the voltage supply, the source connected to the first NMOS transistor drain, and the drain connected to the output pad. A p− implanted region underlies the n+ region of the drain but does not underlie the n+ region of the source. A dummy NMOS cascaded stack comprises third and fourth NMOS transistors. The third NMOS transistor has the gate and the source connected to ground. The fourth NMOS transistor has the gate connected to the voltage supply, the source connected to the third MOS transistor drain, and the drain connected to the output pad.

    摘要: The present invention determines the ESD event by detecting the voltage value of the power source. The numbers N of the diodes 441 have to follow the condition of: N×VT(0.7)>Vcc (core) Therefore, the diodes 441 will not influence normal operation outside of ESD events. When an ESD pulse is generated, the PN junction of the PMOS transistor is turned on, so the voltage value of Vcc is raised. At this time, the voltage value of Vcc (core) is “Vcc−0.7−N1×(0.7)”, N1 represents the numbers of diodes between Vcc (core) and Vcc, which follows the condition of “N1×(0.7)>Vcc—Vcc (core)” to ensure the diodes remain turned on in normal operation.
