Patent ID: 10290626

Abstract:
Methods of integrating a HV ESD PNP bipolar transistor in a VFET process and the resulting devices are provided. Embodiments include forming a DNW region in a portion of a p-sub; forming a HVPDDD region in a portion of the DNW region; forming a first and a second NW in a portion of the DNW region, the second NW between the first NW and the HVPDDD region and laterally separated from the HVPDDD region; forming a PW in a portion of the HVPDDD region; forming an N+ implant in a portion of the first NW and a P+ implant in a portion of the PW; forming a first, a second and a third fin structures over the first and the second NW and the PW, respectively; and forming a N+ S/D, a P+ S/D and a P+ S/D over the first, the second and the third fin structures, respectively.
