    摘要: An electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection device having a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) for protecting circuitry of an integrated circuit (IC). The SCR includes a N-doped layer disposed over a substrate and a first P doped region disposed over the N-doped layer. At least one first N+ doped region forming a cathode is disposed over the P-doped region and coupled to ground. The at least one first N+ doped region, first P-doped region, and N-doped layer form a vertical NPN transistor of the SCR. A second P doped region forming an anode is coupled to a protected pad. The second P doped region is disposed over the N-doped layer, and is laterally positioned and electrically isolated with respect to the first P doped region. The second P doped region, N-doped layer, and first P doped region form a lateral PNP transistor of the SCR.

    摘要: An electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit for a semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) that protects core circuitry of the IC during normal operations, and shunts ESD events during non-powered mode of the IC. The ESD protection circuitry includes a multi-fingered MOS transistor, each finger respectively adapted for coupling between an I/O pad and a first supply line of the IC. An ESD detector is coupled to the I/O pad via a first terminal, and a second terminal is adapted for coupling to a second supply line potential of the IC. A parasitic capacitance is formed between the second supply line potential of the IC and the first supply line potential. A transfer circuit is coupled to a third terminal of the ESD detector and is adapted for biasing at least one gate respectively associated with at least one finger of the multi-fingered MOS transistor.

    摘要: An integrated circuit includes a protected circuit. The integrated circuit further includes a silicon controlled rectifier including a sequence of a first p-type region, a second n-type region, a third p-type region and a fourth n-type region. The first n-type region is electrically coupled to the protected circuit. The integrated circuit further includes a first pn junction diode including a first semiconductor zone and one of the group including the second n-type region and the third p-type region as a second semiconductor zone. A conductivity type of the first semiconductor zone is opposite to the conductivity type of the second semiconductor zone. The integrated circuit further includes a first trigger circuit electrically coupled to the first semiconductor zone.
