  • Abstract
    The diode isolation concept was exploited experimentally to grounded gate NMOS transistors and grounded gate DeNMOS transistors for robust ESD protections. The It2, holding voltage, and triggering voltage are improved by applying this concept. It is a novel optimization concept for both low voltage and high voltage ESD protection design.
