  • ESD resistant device
    Patent number: 6835984
    Abstract: A semiconductor device such as a photodetector has a substrate having an active region layer containing an active region of the device. A dielectric layer is disposed on the active region layer, and a metal active region contact is disposed in the dielectric layer above the active region and electrically contacting the active region. A metal electrostatic discharge (ESD)protection structure is disposed in the dielectric layer around the active region contact, wherein the ESD protection structure electrically contacts the active region layer of the substrate to provide an ESD discharge path for charge on the surface of the dielectric layer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 9, 2002
    Date of Patent: December 28, 2004
    Assignee: Agere Systems Inc.
    Inventors: Gustav Edward Derkits, Jr., Leslie Marchut, Franklin R. Nash
