摘要
Several techniques exist to realize low triggering of SCR (Si-controlled rectifier) ESD (electrostatic discharging) protection structures in CMOS technologies. This paper reports a novel RC-SCR (RC-coupled SCR) ESD protection circuit using a new RC-coupling-based triggering mechanism to further reduce triggering voltage. Implementation in a commercial 0.35mum CMOS process results in a very low triggering of 7V, representing a 28% further reduction from existing low-triggering-voltage SCR ESD protection designs.
