Abstract
At least one method, apparatus and system disclosed involves an antenna diode design for a semiconductor device. A first common diode operatively coupled to a ground node and to a p-well layer serving as an isolated p-well that is formed over a deep n-well that is adjacent to an n-well in a semiconductor device is provided. A first antenna diode formed on the isolated p-well operatively coupled to the p-well layer and operatively coupled to a first signal line of the semiconductor device is provided for discharging accumulated charges on the first signal line. A second antenna diode formed on the isolated p-well operatively coupled to the p-well layer and operatively coupled to a second signal line of semiconductor device is provided for discharging accumulated charges on the second signal line.
