Conduction Uniformity Improvement of ESD Protection Device in 0.35 μm Partially-Depleted SOI Salicided CMOS Technology

Abstract:

ComparedtobulkCMOStechnology,Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) CMOS technology has many advantages, such as low power consumption, low leakage current, low parasitic capacitance and a low soft error rate from both alpha particles and cosmic rays. However,electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection in SOI technology is still a major substantial barrier to overcome for the poor thermal conductivity of isolation oxide and the absence of vertical diode and silicon controlled rectifier (SCR).
