Abstract

A novel ESD device structure with non-LDD at drain region has been demonstrated to enhance the ESD immunity of IO circuits with mixed high/low operation voltage. The protection capability of this novel ESD device structure has been proved from 1μm to 65nm technologies with and without fully salicide at the source/drain region. This structure is found to be also very effective to protect the high voltage tolerant (HVT) IO circuits and the drain extended NMOSFET (DEMOS) transistors. The ESD failure thresholds can be improved from HBM < 0.5KV and MM < 50V to HBM 4KV and MM 200V, respectively. In addition, this novel ESD device structure is cost effective because two process modules including RPO and ESD implant can be removed.
