ABSTRACT:
An integrated circuit with a passive component and an ESD device in accordance with the present invention has: a P substrate; an N+ buried layer implanted in the P substrate; a cathode coupled to the N+ buried layer with an N area formed between the cathode and the N+ buried layer; an anode coupled to the N+ buried layer with a P area formed between the anode and the N+ buried layer; and a first P+ buried layer implanted in the N+ buried layer and below the P area to form a Zener diode. In an alternative embodiment, the ESD device may be incorporated in an integrated circuit with an active component.
