Patent
Electrostatic discharge protection structures for high speed technologies with mixed and ultra-low voltage supplies
TL;DR: An electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit (302) in a semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) (100) having protected circuitry is described in this article, where a diode turn-on device (308) is coupled in a forward conduction direction from the pad to a first gate (336) of the ESD protection device.
Patent
Low voltage silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) for electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection of silicon-on-insulator technologies
Cornelius Christian Russ,Phillip Czeslaw Jozwiak,Markus Paul Josef Mergens,John Armer,Cong-Son Trinh,Russell Mohn,Koen Verhaege +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection device is proposed to protect very sensitive thin gate oxides by limiting the power dissipation during the ESD event.
Journal ArticleDOI
High holding current SCRs (HHI-SCR) for ESD protection and latch-up immune IC operation
Markus Paul Josef Mergens,Christian C. Russ,Koen Verhaege,John Armer,Phillip Czeslaw Jozwiak,Russ Mohn +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) for power line and local I/O ESD protection is presented, which exhibits a dual ESD clamp characteristic: low-current high-voltage clamping and high-current low-voltages clamping.
Patent
Multi-finger current ballasting ESD protection circuit and interleaved ballasting for ESD-sensitive circuits
Koen Verhaege,Markus Paul Josef Mergens,Cornelius Christian Russ,John Armer,Phillip Czeslaw Joswiak +4 more
TL;DR: A multi-finger electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit has at least two first resistive channels (RS1, RS2) defining input fingers, each having a drain and source as discussed by the authors.
Proceedings Article
High Holding Current SCRs (HHI-SCR) for ESD protection and latch-up immune IC operation
Markus Paul Josef Mergens,Christian C. Russ,Koen Verhaege,John Armer,Phillip Czeslaw Jozwiak,Russ Mohn +5 more
TL;DR: The HHI-SCR exhibits a dual ESD clamp characteristic: low-current high-voltage clamping and high-current low-voltages clamping, which enable latch-up immune normal operation as well as superior full chip ESD protection.
