主权项

1. An apparatus comprising:
a well having a first type of conductivity formed within a semiconductor structure having a second type of conductivity; and a tap to the well, wherein a boundary of the well between the well and the semiconductor structure intersects an active area of the tap such that the boundary occurs within the active area and the boundary separates a first doped area of the active area from a second doped area of the active area, wherein the second doped area is more heavily doped than the first doped area with a same conductivity dopant.
