Abstract:
Some embodiments relate to a device array including a plurality of devices arranged in a semiconductor substrate. A protection ring circumscribes an outer perimeter of the device array. The protection ring includes a first ring neighboring the device array, a second ring circumscribing the first ring and meeting the first ring at a first p-n junction, and a third ring circumscribing the second ring and meeting the second ring at a second p-n junction. The first ring has a first width, the second ring has a second width, and the third ring has a third width. At least two of the first width, the second width, and the third width are different from one another.

Claim (Index 15):
The device of  claim 14 , wherein the device array region comprises:\n a plurality of devices disposed in the semiconductor substrate; and a plurality of isolation structures disposed in the semiconductor substrate and laterally surrounding the plurality of devices, respectively; wherein a bottom surface of an isolation structure extends to a depth in the semiconductor substrate that is deeper than a lowermost portion of the first, innermost ring.
