Abstract
The ESD reliability of the advanced sub-micron technologies is a major concern because of the shallow LDD junctions. This paper will show that by achieving uniform power distribution during the entire ESD event in a large multi-finger nMOS device of 0.6 mu m technology, protection levels in excess of 10 kV can be realized. The evidence of this uniform power distribution resulting from the multi-finger parasitic npn turn-on is shown through an emission microscopy analysis.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
