Latch up refers to the creation of a low resistance path between power and ground. This is essentially created due to parasitic bipolars getting active.
To minimize chances of latch up:
1. Use of guard rings - they are nothing but a N+ or P+ ring around the device which is suitably biased to power/ground respectively. How they help is that if by chance there are carriers like electrons in the substrate, they are trapped/attracted by the respective wells.
2. Keeping the substrate traps close to the devices This reduces bulk resistance and helps minimize risk of LU
