  • Abstract
    A novel SCR is proposed using a scrambling structure with a Schottky junction. It has ultra low capacitance, high holding voltage and superb CDM performance compared to the prior arts. Additionally, a detailed and explicit analysis regarding the turn-on mechanism has been disclosed for the first time.
