Multi-finger turn-on circuits and design techniques for enhanced ESD performance and width scaling |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
This paper presents a novel MOS Multi-Finger Turn-on (MFT) solution applying a layout technique, so-called Back-End-Ballast (BEB) poly resistors in compact Merged-Ballast-Circuit (MBC) configurations. The novel approach harnesses the basic principle that multi-finger elements are initially forced into a non-uniform conduction state. From this situation a bias potential can be intrinsically derived to turn on the inactive device parts by using gate- and/or bulk-biasing schemes. Various MFT implementations for area efficient ESD protection and driver design will be extensively discussed. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. |
