  • Abstract
    Double snapback in silicon-on-insulator (SOI) nMOSFETs is reported. An extensive experimental analysis of this phenomenon and a tentative model are presented. It is shown that this double-snapback phenomenon offers a basis for an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection concept for SOI technologies.<>
