Abstract :
A novel dual-directional silicon controlled rectifier (dSCR) device with dummy gate for electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is presented. Compared with the traditional dSCR, the novel device has the desirable characteristics of dual-directional conduction, a low ESD trigger voltage, an adjustable ESD holding voltage and non-consumption of the extra area.
