    Abstract

    The impact of pickup structure on ESD robustness of multi-finger MOSFET devices in the nanoscale CMOS process is investigated in this work with 1.2-V and 2.5-V devices in a 130-nm CMOS process. The multi-finger MOSFET device without the pickup structure inserted into its source region can sustain a much higher ESD level and more compact layout area for I/O cells.
