Abstract: Disclosed are a plasma damage protection device and a plasma damage protection method. The plasma damage protection device is disposed in an integrated circuit. The plasma damage protection device includes a switch component and a transmission structure. The switch component is coupled between a reference power rail and a pad. The switch component is turned on or cut off according to a charge on the pad. The pad is coupled to a protected component. The transmission structure is configured to transmit the charge on the pad to a control end of the switch component during a back-end-of-line process. The switch component is turned on according to the charge on the pad during the back-end-of-line process.

Abstract: An electrostatic discharge protection circuit, including a discharge switch, a first transistor, an inverter, and a feedback circuit, is provided. The discharge switch is coupled between a first power rail and a second power rail, and may be turned on or cut off according to a control voltage.
