State-of-the-art ESD protection devices and techniques for digital and analog technologies

Abstract

This paper is a review of the latest advances in ESD protection for analog and digital technologies. The paper will introduce the latest ESD protection devices for FinFET and FDSOI technologies such as Field effect diode, Field effect resistor. We will introduce an example of innovation for analog ESD protection focusing on system level automotive applications namely Mutual ballasting layout technique.
