Zusammenfassung:Embodiments disclosed herein include semiconductor devices with electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection of the transistor devices. In an embodiment, a semiconductor device comprises a semiconductor substrate, where a transistor device is provided on the semiconductor substrate. In an embodiment, the semiconductor device further comprises a stack of routing layers over the semiconductor substrate, and a diode in the stack of routing layers. In an embodiment, the diode is configured to provide electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection to the transistor device.
