Analysis of a Zener-triggered bipolar ESD structure in a BiCMOS technology

A Zener-triggered bipolar ESD structure has been designed in a BiCMOS technology for use as a supply clamp. The current at which the structure snaps back is found to depend on the applied pulse width due to a self-heating effect.
