  • nldd phalo assisted low Trigger scr for high voltage tolerant esd protection without using extra masks
    IEEE Electron Device Letters, 2009
    Co-Authors: Y Shan, J He, B Hu, Wen Huang
    Abstract:

    A new silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) is proposed and realized in the foundry's 0.18-mum CMOS process for electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. Without using an extra mask or Trigger Circuits, the new n-type lightly doped drain and p-type halo-assisted SCR has a Trigger voltage Vt1 as low as 7 V and an ESD robustness exceeding 50 mA/mum, which enables effective ESD protection. Compared with the traditional low-voltage-Triggered SCR, the new structure not only has a lower Trigger voltage but also is more suitable for high-voltage-tolerant applications avoiding any gate-oxide reliability issue.

  • Restoration of controllable hysteresis in partially depleted SOI CMOS Schmitt Trigger Circuits
    IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems II: Express Briefs, 2004
    Co-Authors: J.b. Kuang, Ching-te Chuang
    Abstract:

    This paper presents a new circuit technique to alleviate the uncontrollable floating-body-induced hysteretic component present in the transfer characteristics of voltage-mode CMOS Schmitt Trigger Circuits in a partially depleted silicon-on-insulator technology. This technique integrates a successive switching threshold shift mechanism with the systematic body contact scheme, resulting in improved noise immunity and well-defined hysteresis behavior for the Schmitt Trigger circuit that is suitable for use as a low-noise receiver, level shifter, waveform-reshaping circuit, and delay element in very large-scale integrated applications.

  • pd soi cmos schmitt Trigger Circuits with controllable hysteresis
    International Symposium on VLSI Technology Systems and Applications, 2001
    Co-Authors: J.b. Kuang, Ching-te Chuang
    Abstract:

    This paper presents an SOI circuit technique, which eliminates the uncontrollable floating-body-induce hysteretic component in the transfer characteristics of CMOS Schmitt Triggers. This technique integrates a successive switching threshold shift mechanism with the systematic body contact scheme. The resulting design possesses improved noise immunity and well-defined hysteresis behavior, suitable for use as a low-noise receiver, waveform-reshaping circuit, or delay element in VLSI applications.
