  • Abstract
    There is a trend to revive mature technologies while including high voltage options. ESD protection in those technologies is challenging due to narrow ESD design windows, NMOS degradation issues and the creation of unexpectedly weak parasitic devices. Different case studies are presented for ESD protection based on latch-up immune SCR devices.
