Abstract

A new on-chip ESD protection circuit with complementary SCR structures is proposed. This circuit can provide ESD protection above ±6500V and ±400V in human-body-mode and machine-mode ESD stresses, respectively, with the total layout area of 108μm × 242μm including the latchup guard-ring of 10 - μm width and a 90μm × 90μm metal pad for wire bonding.
