  • Abstract
    In this paper the authors present the field effect diode (FED) as a novel device with a new approach for ESD protection in SOI. Device parameters are identified and optimized to achieve optimum ON and OFF behavior. Furthermore, the authors present two ways the FED can be used in an ESD protection scheme: in I/O clamping and in a high-voltage supply clamp
