The photolithography in this step isthe most demanding since it requires the finestresolution to create the narrow MOS channels. Mask 4 is used tocontrol a heavy arsenicimplant and create thesource and drain of then-channel devices. This is a self-alignedstructure.Arsenic ImplantPhotoresistSiO2n-wellp-substrateThe polysilicon gate acts like a barrier for thisimplant to protect the channel region.SiO2n n SiO2n-welln-wellp-substratePYKC Nov-27-09E4.20 Digital IC Designn p-substrateLecture 3 - 7PYKC Nov-27-09E4.20 Digital IC DesignLecture 3 - 8

Latch-up problem (1) Latch-up (con’t)As shown above, the p region of the p-transistor, the n-well and the p- substrate form aparasitic pnp transistor T1.The n- well, the p- substrate and the p source of the n-transistor forms another parasiticnpn transistor T2.There exists two resistors Rw and Rs due to the resistive drop in the well area and thesubstrate area. PYKC Nov-27-09E4.20 Digital IC DesignLecture 3 - 17T1 and T2 form a thyristor circuit.If Rw and/or Rs are not 0, and for somereason (power-up, current spike etc), T1or T2 are forced to conduct, Vdd will beshorted to Gnd through the smallresistances and the transistors.Once the circuit is 'fired', both transistorswill remain conducting due to the voltagedrop across Rw and Rs. The only way toget out of this mode is to turn the poweroff.This condition is known as latch-up.To avoid latch-up, substrate-taps (tied toGnd) and well-taps (tied to Vdd) areinserted as frequently as possible. Thishas the effect of shorting out Rw and Rs.PYKC Nov-27-09E4.20 Digital IC DesignLecture 3 - 18

LK/LW Series Power Star inverters Ensure that the inverter is switched off during the installation. It is recommended that you always connect the inverter to the battery bank first, as the battery power ultimately starts the inverter. If the inverter is connected to the AC input only, with the batteries disconnected or too low, the inverter .
