Abstract:
1. A device comprising: a bulk material of a first conductivity type; source and drain regions positioned within said bulk material and separated by a channel region, said source and drain regions having a second conductivity type; a gate positioned over said channel region; a resistive path in said bulk material, said resistive path being positioned in said bulk material so as to couple a first location in said bulk material, below said channel region, to a second location in said bulk material, said resistive path having a horizontal length; wherein said horizontal length of said resistive path is chosen to provide a resistance between said first location and said second location within a specific range of resistance values; and a well tie of said first conductivity type positioned within said bulk material, said well tie being positioned beside one of said source or drain regions and outside said channel region, wherein; said well tie is electrically coupled to said second location in said bulk material.
