  • Abstract
    A new enhanced displacement-current triggering by adding floating P+ diffusions at each source finger edge for the HV LDNMOSFET is proposed. Unlike the conventional substrate-triggered ESD protection technologies, it is very easy to implement the scheme by the layout without any special circuit and additional component. With a total width of 1600 μm, the HBM/ MM ESD performance improvements from 1.5 kV/ 150 V to 5.5 kV/ 450 V are achieved.
