Substrate triggering for ESD protection in SOI
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection device and process for protecting a conventional FET. The device includes at least one FET body forming a resistance, and a triggering circuit coupled to a protection FET and the resistance. The resistance raises a voltage of the at least one body, such that the protection FET is triggered at a voltage lower than the conventional FET.
