  • Patent number: 11532610
    Abstract: An Electrostatic Discharge protection circuit with low parasitic capacitance is provided, comprising a first bipolar junction transistor and a first ESD power clamp device. The first bipolar junction transistor is an NPN type of bipolar junction transistor, including a base and an emitter commonly connected to an I/O terminal and a collector connected with the first ESD power clamp device. The first ESD power clamp device is further connected to ground, and can be a Zener diode, PNP type, NPN type of bipolar junction transistor or the like. When a positive ESD pulse is injected, an ESD protection path is consisting of the first bipolar junction transistor and the first ESD power clamp device. When a negative ESD pulse is injected, the ESD protection path is consisting of a parasitic silicon controlled rectifier, thereby reducing parasitic capacitance effectively.

  • Patent number: 10930637
    Abstract: A transient voltage suppressor is provided, comprising a heavily doped substrate connected to a first node, a first doped layer formed on the heavily doped substrate, a second doped layer formed on the first doped layer, a first heavily doped region and a second heavily doped region formed in the second doped layer and coupled to a second node, and a plurality of trenches arranged in the heavily doped substrate, having a depth not less than that of the first doped layer for electrical isolation. The heavily doped substrate, the second doped layer, and the second heavily doped region belong to a first conductivity type. The first doped layer and the first heavily doped region belong to a second conductivity type. By employing the proposed present invention, pn junctions of the transient voltage suppressor can be controlled beneath the surface, thereby reducing the junction capacitance effectively.

  • Patent number: 10685954
    Abstract: A silicon controlled rectifier includes a P-type substrate, an N-type doped well, a first P-type strip-shaped heavily-doped area arranged in the N-type doped well, a first N-type strip-shaped heavily-doped area arranged in the P-type substrate, and at least one N-type heavily-doped area arranged in the P-type substrate and the N-type doped well. The at least one N-type heavily-doped area is not arranged between the first P-type strip-shaped heavily-doped area and the first N-type strip-shaped heavily-doped area, thus the surface area of a semiconductor substrate can be reduced. The conductivity types of the abovementioned components are alternatively changed.
