Abstract

This paper reviews some of the devices and circuits which have been used to implement ESD protection networks for thin film silicon on insulator (TFSOI) technologies. The high current behavior of TFSOI MOSFETS and diodes is described for both positive and negative discharges. Next, several representative pin-protection network designs are reviewed which have all been shown to provide industry-standard levels of ESD protection. A discussion of power-supply protection networks follows, which must be used in conjunction with the pin protection schemes.
