Abstract
A method of designing a diode includes generating a layout of the diode and calculating a calculated voltage overshoot based on the layout. The calculating includes calculating variables of: the length of an N region of the diode; current density during an ESD event; electron charge; hole mobility; electron mobility; doping concentration of the diode; and rise time of the ESD event.
