Next generation bulk FinFET devices and their benefits for ESD robustness

Abstract

This paper reports the first ESD results on NMOS and gated diode devices processed in a bulk FinFET technology. A comparison with SOI FinFET performance is carried out, highlighting the role of device geometry and three-dimensional architecture. Moreover, the ESD-RF performance of bulk FinFET gated diodes is evaluated and compared to SOI.
