Abstract
The turn-on mechanism of an ESD protection NMOS transistor constructed with deep submicron triple well CMOS technology is studied. Owing to P-well cou pling, this transistor exhibits a reduced trigger voltage level. An efficie nt ESD protection circuit for overall ESD reliability of an integrated circ uit is also proposed.
