    Abstract

    NMOS with dummy-gate structure is proposed to significantly improve machine-model (MM) electrostatic discharge (ESD) robustness in a fully-salicided CMOS technology. By using this structure, the ESD current is discharged far away from the salicided surface channel of NMOS, therefore NMOS can sustain a much higher ESD level, especially under the machine-model ESD stress.
