    What is Nwell Antenna Effect

    Nwell is fabricated by ion Implantation, During the fabrication process, some charges are
    accumulated on Nwell. The charge build-up may not be from the gate to the body in
    CMOS, but It can also be the body(nwell) to the gate of a MOSFET. So we can say that
    during fabrication, before contact and metal, there can be a charge build-up on the body
    of a pMOS transistor (nwell) relative to the gate. Now after nwell fabrication, the next
    step is gate(poly) fabrication for self-alignment purposes, now if the charge on nwell is
    huge, then it may, damage the gate oxide under the poly, this is called as nwell antenna
    Effect in VLSI.

    NWELL Antenna Effect

    How to Solve Nwell Antenna Effect

    We should put N+(bulk connection) to Nwell.

    The N+/P diode should provide enough leakage to prevent any damage to the gate
    oxide.
