Abstract: The present invention relates to an additive for an epoxy adhesive and a composition for a structural epoxy adhesive including the same. The additive for the epoxy adhesive according to the present invention may have excellent dispersibility and mechanical properties, and thus may improve adhesion strength of the structural epoxy adhesive.

Abstract: An RC-triggered electrostatic discharge (ESD) power clamp circuit and method for providing ESD protection uses a control circuit with a latch to selectively activate a clamping transistor to discharge ESD on a first voltage rail to a second voltage rail.

Abstract: An implantation method to improve ESD robustness of thick-oxide grounded-gate NMOSFET's in deep-submicron CMOS technologies. Based on standard process flow in DGO, a thick gate-oxide ESD device is improved. Instead of using the standard I/O device, the ESD device uses the thin-oxide N-LDD implantation, and thus its ESD robustness is enhanced. This is performed by updating the logic Boolean operations of thick gate-oxide and thin gate-oxide N-LDD before fabricating the masks. In TGO, the intermediate-oxide ESD uses thin-oxide N-LDD implantation, and the thick-oxide ESD uses intermediate-oxide N-LDD implantation.

Abstract: A semiconductor device which includes a P-well which is underneath NMOS fingers. The device includes an N-well ring which is configured so that the inner P-well underneath the NMOS fingers is separated from an outer P-well. The inner P-well and outer P-well are connected by a P-substrate resistance which is much higher than the resistance of the P-wells. A P+-diffusion ring surrounding the N-well ring is configured to connect to VSS, i.e., P-taps.
