  • Abstract
    This paper demonstrates the dramatic improvement in ESD performance of HV DENMOS and LDMOS obtained by using selective drain extension silicide blocking (SBLK). The results are validated through 3D TCAD and TLP measurements on different technologies. Measured D.C. Id-Vd characteristics show minimal performance impact due to the addition of SBLK region.
