Abstract:
An electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit includes at least one bipolar transistor. At least one isolation structure is disposed in a substrate. The at least one isolation structure is configured to electrically isolate two terminals of the at least one bipolar transistor. At least one diode is electrically coupled with the at least one bipolar transistor, wherein a junction interface of the at least one diode is disposed adjacent the at least one isolation structure.
