Electrostatic discharge (ESD) disrupts the normal operation of electronic components and systems. It can cause leakages, shorts, gate oxide ruptures, junction and metallization burnouts, and deterioration of resistor-metal interfaces. To protect semiconductor devices from ESD, engineers integrate on-chip protective structures that shield core circuits’ input, output, and power supply pins. This article reviews the three […]
