Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a thermal management solution for ESD protection devices in advanced Fin- and/or Nanowire-based technology nodes, by employing localized nano heat sinks, which enable heat transport from local hot spots to surface of chip, which allows significant reduction in peak temperature for a given ESD current. In an aspect, the proposed semiconductor device can include at least one fin having a source and a drain disposed over a p-well or a n-well in a substrate; an electrically floating dummy metal gate disposed close to drain or hot spot over at least a portion of the at least one fin, and an electrical metal gate is disposed close to the source; and a nano-heat sink operatively coupled with the dummy metal gate and terminating at the surface of chip in which the semiconductor device is configured so as to enable transfer of heat received from the at least one fin through the dummy metal gate to the surface of the chip.

Claim (Index 17):
The semiconductor device of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one fin comprises an array of fins that are isolated by shallow trench isolation (STI) that extends from P-type tap, via an n-type cathode and p-type anode, to an N-type tap, wherein the p-type tap and the cathode are isolated by an intrinsic fin region or shallow trench isolation between them and are disposed over a p-type well in a substrate, and wherein the n-type tap and the anode are isolated by an intrinsic Fin region or a shallow trench isolation between them and are disposed over a n-type well in the substrate, wherein the electrically floating dummy metal stack is deposited over intrinsic region between the anode and the cathode, and gets terminated over an extended STI at the end of the array and wherein the intrinsic region is any of n-type or p-type doped.
