Abstract: An electro-static-discharge (ESD) protection circuit has a vertical NPN transistor with a floating p-type base created by a deep p-type implant under an N+ source region. The deep p-type implant may be an ESD implant in a standard CMOS process. The p-type implant provides a low initial snap-back trigger voltage, but the holding voltage may be too low, creating latch-up problems. The holding voltage is raised by about one volt by connecting the emitter of the vertical NPN transistor to parallel resistor and diode paths. When the vertical NPN transistor is triggered, its current initially flows through the resistor, creating an increasing voltage drop through the resistor as current rises. Once the voltage across the resistor reaches 0.5 volt, the diode in parallel with the resistor becomes forward biased and shunts a higher current than the resistor, raising the holding voltage. A clamp transistor may replace the diode.
