An integrated circuit includes an active device formed in a semiconductor layer of a first conductivity type, a first guard ring of the first conductivity type formed in the semiconductor layer surrounding at least part of the active device; a second guard ring of the second conductivity type formed in the semiconductor layer surrounding the first guard ring and the active device and including comprising alternating first well regions of the first conductivity type and the second well regions of the second conductivity type, the first and second well regions being electrically shorted together and electrically coupled to a ground potential or floating; and a third guard ring of the first conductivity type formed in the semiconductor layer surrounding the second guard ring. The first and third guard rings do not receive direct electrical connection. |
