Abstract
An electrostatic discharge (ESD) structure for a 3-dimensional (3D) integrated circuit (IC) through-silicon via (TSV) device is provided. The ESD structure includes a substrate, a TSV device which is formed through the substrate and is equivalent to a resistance-inductance-capacitance (RLC) device, and at least one ESD device which is disposed in the substrate and electrically connected to one end of the TSV device. The ESD structure can protect the 3D IC TSV device.
