Abstract
An integrated circuit (IC) device includes a first substrate, a through substrate via (TSV) in the first substrate, and a first antenna effect protection circuit over the first substrate and electrically coupled to the TSV. The first antenna effect protection circuit includes at least one first transistor of a first type, and at least one second transistor of a second type different from the first type. A gate terminal, a first terminal and a second terminal of each of the at least one first transistor and the at least one second transistor are electrically coupled together, and to the TSV.
