Abstract

A method of manufacturing an integrated circuit (IC) device includes forming a metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) transistor including a first gate and first and second source/drain (S/D) regions, the first and second S/D regions having a first doping type and being formed in a substrate region having a second doping type different from the first doping type, forming a guard ring structure surrounding the MOS transistor, the guard ring structure including a second gate and first and second heavily doped regions, the first and second heavily doped regions being formed in the substrate region and having the second doping type, and constructing a first electrical connection between the first and second gates.
