  • Patent number: 9343458
    Abstract: Among other things, an electrostatic discharge (ESD) device is provided. The ESD device comprises a dielectric isolation structure that is formed between an emitter and a collector of the ESD device. During an ESD event, current flows from the emitter, substantially under the dielectric isolation structure, to the collector, to protect associated circuitry. The dielectric isolation structure is formed to a depth that is less than a depth of at least one of the emitter or the collector, or doped regions thereof, thereby decreasing a length of a current path from the emitter to the collector, because the current is not obstructed by the dielectric isolation structure. Accordingly, the ESD device can carry higher current during the ESD event because the shorter current path has less resistance than a longer path that would otherwise be traveled if the dielectric isolation structure was not formed at the shallower depth.
