ABSTRACT:
In a monolithic lateral silicon controlled rectifier structure suitable for integrated circuit application, laterally spaced P type conductivity regions are embedded in an epitaxial N type layer for defining lateral anode and cathode regions thereof. A subcollector layer of N+ conductivity is disposed underlying the anode, cathode and gate regions of the lateral semi-conductive structure. The anode region includes a P+ dependent zone extending down through the N type conductivity region to the N+ subcollector layer for reducing the "on" resistance of the silicon controlled rectifier structure. In addition, the N+ subcollector region is preferably a heavily doped region for further reduction of series resistance.
