Karpovich, M.S., Pichugin, I.V., Vasilyev, V.Yu. In/out pad electrostatic discharge protection for sub-micron integrated circuits based on lateral bipolar transistor / 16th International Conference of Young Specialists on Micro/Nanotechnologies and Electron Devices (EDM), 2015, P.100-103.
Current status is presented for the development and experimental verifcation of 0.18 μm high voltage CMOS integrated circuits with pad-based ESD protection made with the use of lateral bipolar transistor. Developed I/O pads provide 2000 V ESD protection.
