摘要： A circuit which protects an integrated circuit (IC) device from damage due to electrostatic discharge (ESD). The protection circuit includes an N-channel metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) clamping device and a gate modulation circuit. The source and drain of the MOSFET clamp are connected between an input/output (I/O) pad of the IC and a ground reference voltage. During normal operation of the IC, the gate modulation circuit disables the MOSFET clamp by connecting its gate terminal to a ground reference voltage. This permits signal voltages to pass between the I/O pad and any operating circuits connected to the pad. During an ESD event, the gate modulation circuit connects the gate to the I/O pad, which enables the MOSFET clamp, causing any ESD voltages and resulting currents to be shunted through the MOSFET clamp to ground. As a result, the ESD clamp reaches its clamped-to snapback voltage via an increase in MOSFET channel current, and not via junction breakdown. This insures that the ESD clamp reaches its snapback voltage before the onset of junction breakdown in the operating circuits. The circuit is especially useful in integrated circuits where the gate oxide of a standard ESD clamp transistor is too thin to protect the operating logic from I/O signal voltages that are greater than the supply voltage used for the operating logic circuits.
摘要翻译：保护集成电路（IC）器件免受静电放电（ESD）损坏的电路。保护电路包括N沟道金属氧化物半导体场效应晶体管（MOSFET）钳位装置和栅极调制电路。 MOSFET钳位的源极和漏极连接在IC的输入/输出（I / O）焊盘和接地参考电压之间。在IC的正常工作期间，栅极调制电路通过将其栅极端子连接到接地参考电压来禁用MOSFET钳位。这允许信号电压在I / O焊盘和连接到焊盘的任何操作电路之间通过。在ESD事件期间，栅极调制电路将栅极连接到I / O焊盘，这使得MOSFET钳位能够使任何ESD电压和所产生的电流通过MOSFET钳位分流到地。因此，ESD钳位通过MOSFET沟道电流的增加而不是通过结击穿而达到其钳位到快速恢复电压。这确保了ESD钳位在工作电路结点击穿开始之前达到其回跳电压。该电路在集成电路中特别有用，其中标准ESD钳位晶体管的栅极氧化物太薄，无法保护操作逻辑免受大于操作逻辑电路所用电源电压的I / O信号电压的影响。

The modulation circuit includes a diode stack coupled to a resistor and further coupled to an inverter powered by the signal pad voltage in one embodiment, or an odd plurality of series connected inverters powered by the signal pad voltage in an alternate embodiment.

摘要： The capacitance between a gate electrode of a transistor and local interconnect is reduced by employing SiC sidewall spacers on the side surfaces of the gate electrode when forming the source/drain regions with shallow extensions. Embodiments include forming SiC sidewall spacers at a width of about 500 .ANG. to about 800 .ANG. having a dielectric constant of less than about 3.2, depositing a silicon oxide inter-dielectric layer, and forming the local interconnect through the inter-dielectric layer. The resulting composite dielectric constant between the gate electrode and local interconnect is about 4.2 to about 4.7.

摘要： A NOR gate pair includes a first and second NOR gate, each with a plurality of inputs and an output. A first NAND gate has a first input coupled to the output of the first NOR gate, a second input coupled to the output of the second NOR gate through a first input inverter, and an output. A second NAND gate has a first input coupled to the output of the second NOR gate, a second input coupled to the output of the first NOR gate through a second input inverter, and an output. A first output inverter is coupled to the output of the first NAND gate and a second output inverter is coupled to the output of the second NAND gate. This configuration assures that NOR gates used in a one-hot-decode decoder will all have logic-low outputs during a precharge phase.

摘要： An output buffer with improved tolerance to overvoltage conditions. Among other features, especially when in a high-impedance state, the output buffer prevents a leakage path from a pad (108) through a pull-up driver (101) to supply voltage VDD when any voltage above VDD is placed on the pad (108). Further, the output buffer provides improved transient response characteristics. In one embodiment, the output buffer includes a pull-up driver (101), a first tracking transistor (120), a second tracking transistor (122), a voltage bias generator (112), and a coupling capacitor (124).
