    摘要: There is provided a thyristor with desensitized gate sensitivity. The invention includes: a first P-type semiconductor layer; a first N-type semiconductor layer disposed in contact with the first P-type semiconductor layer; a second P-type semiconductor layer disposed in contact with the first N-type semiconductor layer; a second N-type semiconductor layer disposed in contact with the second P-type semiconductor layer; a third P-type semiconductor layer that is disposed in contact with the second P-type semiconductor layer and has an impurity concentration higher than that of the second P-type semiconductor layer; a gate electrode; a cathode electrode; and a fourth P-type semiconductor layer that is in contact with each of the second P-type semiconductor layer and the second N-type semiconductor layer and has an impurity concentration higher than that of the second P-type semiconductor layer. The third P-type semiconductor layer and the fourth P-type semiconductor layer are separated from each other by the second P-type semiconductor layer, and the third P-type semiconductor layer and the second N-type semiconductor layer are separated from each other by the second P-type semiconductor layer.

    摘要: An apparatus includes an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection device. In one embodiment, the protection device electrically coupled between a first node and a second node of an internal circuit to be protected from transient electrical events. The protection device includes a bipolar device or a silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR). The bipolar device or SCR can have a modified structure or additional circuitry to have a selected holding voltage and/or trigger voltage to provide protection over the internal circuit. The additional circuitry can include one or more resistors, one or more diodes, and/or a timer circuit to adjust the trigger and/or holding voltages of the bipolar device or SCR to a desired level. The protection device can provide protection over a transient voltage that ranges, for example, from about 100 V to 330V.
