  • Protection for an integrated circuit
    Patent number: 8390971
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a discharge structure for an overvoltage and/or overcurrent protection, in particular to a discharge structure for an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection, for an integrated circuit (IC), and to an ESD protection device for an IC comprising such a discharge structure and to a method for making such a structure. The present invention particularly relates to such a discharge structure (50, 52) which comprises at least two discharge paths (40, 80) provided to conduct a current to a terminal (60), whereas substantially all of the discharge paths (40, 80) present substantially the same resistance for the current.
    Type: Grant
