摘要
ESD-performance of grounded-gate nMOS protection structures has been observed for a standard 0.25 mum CMOS epitaxial layer based technology. The shortest gate lengths show unexpectedly lower ESD-thresholds, leading to an optimum performance for longer gate length devices attributed to the trade off between power dissipation and melt volume of the parasitic bipolar.
