current status is presented for the development and experimental verification of 0.18 µm high voltage CMOS integrated circuits with pad-based ESD protection made with the use of lateral bipolar transistor. Developed I/O pads provide 2000 V ESD protection. Index terms -ESD protection, I/O PAD, lateral npn transistor, CMOS Maksim S. Karpovich received his M. Eng. in electronics from Novosibirsk State Technical University (Russia) in 2011. Currently he is R&D engineer of SibIS LLC.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
