Abstract

With the use of a device simulator, it is shown that an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit whose junction filled with contacts is suited to a scaled shallow trench isolation (STI) process having thin n- junction with n+ being implanted from contact holes. It is confirmed by measurements that the protection has sufficient robustness.
