  • Abstract
    The latch up characteristics of a CMOS adjacent to a high voltage lateral insulated gate bipolar transistor (LIGBT) have been experimentally investigated. While it has been found that the holding voltage and holding current of the CMOS do not strongly depend on the power device operation, the triggering voltage has been found to be critical to the power device operation.
