ABSTRACT:
In an ESD protection device using a SCR-like structure, a vertical device is provided that is highly robust and easily allows the triggering voltage to be adjusted during manufacture. Furthermore it is implementable in complementary form based on PNP and NPN BJT structures, to provide both positive and negative pulse protection.
