A Bootstrapped ESD Structure for CMOS Amplifiers with femtoampere leakage current: A Bootstrapped ESD Structure for CMOS Amplifiers with femtoampere leakage current

Integrated circuits (ICs) are susceptible to damage by Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), which necessitates protection diodes. However, these diodes can cause leakage currents in the range of picoamperes, dominating the input current of CMOS ICs. This thesis presents the implementation of a low leakage bootstrapped ESD protection circuit for...
