Abstract
An integrated circuit arrangement includes a Shockley diode or a thyristor. An inner region of the diode or of the thyristor is completely or partially shielded during the implantation of a p-type well. This gives rise to a Shockley diode or a thyristor having improved electrical properties, in particular with regard to the use as an ESD protection element.
Claims6
A method for producing an integrated circuit arrangement, the method comprising shielding a p-type inner region during the doping of a p-type well.
A method for producing an integrated circuit arrangement, the method comprising shielding an n-type inner region during the doping of an n-type well.
