  • Silicon controlled rectifier with a gate electrode for electrostatic discharge protection
    Patent number: 11398565
    Abstract: A silicon controlled rectifier is provided. The silicon controlled rectifier comprises a substrate and a first n-well in the substrate. A p+ anode region may be arranged in the first n-well in the substrate. A first p-well may be arranged in the first n-well in the substrate. An n+ cathode region may be arranged in the first p-well in the substrate. A field oxide layer may be arranged over a first portion of the first p-well. A first gate electrode layer may extend over a second portion of the first p-well and over a portion of the field oxide layer.
