Abstract
Electro Static discharge (ESD) in ICs can damage them. To prevent ICs from being damaged by ESD, protection circuits must be used. These protection circuits can be either designed on chip or on PCBs, to be more protective, both can be used. In this thesis, 8 kV ESD protection circuits according to human body model (HBM) in high voltage 0.18 um CMOS technology has been designed. In this thesis, in addition to study of electro static discharge phenomenon and its protection circuits, we have designed high voltage pads which are protected against 8 kV electro static discharge according to human body model. Finally these pads have been used in automotive ICs. In this thesis, firs we have...
