Abstract:
In some examples, a device includes a first power supply node, an input-output node, and a second power supply node positioned between the first power supply node and the input-output node. The device also includes a protection element configured to block a parasitic flow of carriers between the first power supply node and the input-output node, wherein the parasitic flow of carriers is based on a voltage level of the second power supply node.

Claim (Index 20):
A method comprising:\n forming a p-type substrate; forming a p-well on the p-type substrate; forming an n-well adjacent to the p-well on the p-type substrate; forming a first power supply node on the n-well, wherein forming the first power supply node comprises forming p-type material on the n-well; forming a second power supply node on the p-well, wherein the second power supply node is positioned between the first power supply node and the input-output node, and wherein forming the second power supply node comprises forming p-type material on the p-well; forming an input-output node on the p-well, wherein forming the input-output node comprises forming n-type material on the p-well; forming an n-p-n parasitic structure comprising a first n-region and a second n-region, wherein the first n-region comprises the input-output node; and forming a protection element to block a parasitic flow of positive carriers through the n-p-n parasitic structure from the input-output node to the first power supply node, wherein the second n-region is electrically connected to an n-type material of the protection element, and wherein the parasitic flow of positive carriers is based on a voltage level of the second power supply node.
