摘要： The present disclosure generally relates to a four-layer semiconductor device, such as a silicon-controlled rectifier. Further aspects of the present disclosure relate to an electrostatic discharge (ESD), protection circuit including the same. In the four-layer semiconductor device in accordance with the present disclosure, an electrical insulation is provided that extends at least partially inside the epitaxial layer and that prevents a current from flowing between the first device terminal and the second device terminal that does not at least partially flow through the semiconductor substrate.

摘要： An electrostatic discharge (ESD), protection device is provided. In accordance with the present disclosure, an ESD protection device is provided that includes a series connection of a first unit having strong snapback and low series capacitance and a second high-voltage unit that displays a relatively high holding/trigger voltage to ensure latch up and improper triggering of the ESD protection device while at the same time providing high-voltage operation with low capacitive loading.

摘要： A protection device is provided for protecting an electrostatic discharge (ESD), sensitive device against an electromagnetic interference (EMI), event and/or an ESD event occurring on at least one of a first and second data line the ESD sensitive device is electrically connected to. Aspects of the present disclosure further relate to a system including an ESD sensitive device that is operatively coupled to a further device using a first and second data line, and the system includes the abovementioned protection device. The protection device uses a first inductor and/or second inductor and a first and/or shunt unit that each provide an electrical path between the first data line and/or second data line and ground in dependence of a voltage over the first and/or second inductor.
