    摘要: Some aspects relate to a semiconductor device disposed on a semiconductor substrate. The device includes an STI region that laterally surrounds a base portion of a semiconductor fin. An anode region, which has a first conductivity type, and a cathode region, which has a second conductivity type, are arranged in an upper portion of the semiconductor fin. A first doped base region, which has the second conductivity type, is arranged in the base of the fin underneath the anode region. A second doped base region, which has the first conductivity type, is arranged in the base of the fin underneath the cathode region. A current control unit is arranged between the anode region and the cathode region. The current control unit is arranged to selectively enable and disable current flow in the upper portion of the fin based on a trigger signal. Other devices and methods are also disclosed.

    摘要: Some embodiments relate to an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection device to protect a circuit from an ESD event. The ESD protection device includes first and second trigger elements. Upon detecting an ESD pulse, the first trigger element provides a first trigger signal having a first pulse length. The second trigger element, upon detecting the ESD pulse, provides a second trigger signal having a second pulse length. The second pulse length is different from the first pulse length. A primary shunt shunts power of the ESD pulse away from the ESD susceptible circuit based on the first trigger signal. A current control element selectively pumps current due to the ESD pulse into a substrate of the primary shunt based on the second trigger signal.

Furthermore, the fin resistance element has a gate region formed at least over a part of the surface of the channel region. The gate region is electrically coupled to a gate control device, which gate control device controls an electrical potential applied to the gate region in such a way that the gate controlled fin resistance element has a high electrical resistance during a first operating state of the electrical circuit and a lower electrical resistance during a second operating state, which is characterized by the occurrence of an ESD event.
