Abstract
The need of (electrostatic discharge) ESD protection for high frequency devices and circuits is underlined by reviewing the compound semiconductor material properties with emphasis to ESD stress and by collecting their ESD failure thresholds. Basic requirements for possible ESD protection structures in the microwave frequency regime are discussed and possible ESD protection devices and circuit concepts are proposed.Keywords
