ABSTRACT:
A structure of an electrostatic discharge (ESD) device integrated with a pad is provided. The ESD device is integrated with the pad and formed under the pad. By using the area under the pad, the ESD device does not occupy additional space of an integrated circuit. Furthermore, since the pad is a large, plate, and ideal conductor, the connected pad and the ESD device are capable of distributing current in the ESD device averagely.
