Abstract
An electrostatic discharge protection device, and a method of fabricating the same, includes a substrate, an n-well formed in the substrate, a p-well formed on the n-well, an NMOS transistor formed on the p-well, the NMOS transistor including a gate electrode, an n+ source and an n+ drain, and a grounded p+ well pick-up formed in the p-well, wherein the n-well is connected to the n+ drain of the NMOS transistor and the n+ source is grounded. The n+ drain and the n-well are connected to decrease a voltage of a trigger and a current density of a surface of the substrate.
